Sequential Detonator
by zerrty
Sequential Detonator is a Forge game mechanics mod that adds a new item for setting off a chain of TNT in a chosen order.
What it does
Sequential Detonator lets a player connect several explosives and then detonate them one after another, instead of all at once. The mod adds a new item with its own 3D model, and the item opens an interactive screen that lists every connected TNT block. From that screen the player can change the order in which the explosives go off, remove an entry from the list at once, or teleport a selected TNT to its position. Each click on the next entry in the menu sets off the following explosive, which makes it possible to fire a sequence step by step.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Only the 1.20.1 game version is listed, with a single Forge file, version 1.0, published on 2026-03-14 on the alpha channel. The interface is translated into English and Ukrainian. The code is closed, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Sequential detonation
Connected TNT blocks go off one at a time in the order the player sets, rather than in a single blast.
Connected TNT list
A management screen shows every explosive linked to the item, so the player can see the whole sequence at a glance.
Reordering and removal
Entries in the list can be moved to a new position or removed instantly from the screen.
Teleport to a selected TNT
The player can jump to any explosive in the list, which is useful for checking placement before firing.
Step-by-step firing
The menu's detonate button sets off the next TNT in the list with a left click.
Translated interface
Interface text is available in English and Ukrainian.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players and map makers who want to control the order of explosions rather than set off a group of TNT at once. Because the environment is client and server, server owners who run it should install it on the server as well as on clients.
How it compares
Sequential Detonator is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved. Bare Remote Detonators is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same environment and license, so it covers a similar need for remote explosives. TnT-Timer-1.16.5-forge is a Forge mod for 1.16.5, runs client-side only and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, so it is a different kind of tool for a different version.
