The TNT Mod
The TNT Mod adds several explosive blocks for Forge 1.20.1, from stronger TNT variants to cluster, sphere and nuclear bombs.
What it does
The mod extends vanilla TNT with blocks that explode harder or spread their blast in new patterns. Variants multiply the explosion strength by two or five, and cluster versions release extra TNT blocks that detonate in turn. Other blocks create larger shapes: a sphere TNT, a Classic Nuke that chains consecutive 100-power explosions into a crater, and a Meteor TNT that spreads fire and sky-touching blasts across a wide area. Some blocks are meant for mass destruction, such as the Acre Destroyer, which clears a 500 by 500 block area of weak blocks like grass and sand, and the Memory Breaker, a regular TNT explosion at 10000 power.
The mod requires Pehkui, which must be installed alongside it. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1 alone, with 1.0.4 as the latest build from 2025-05-30. The mod was first published on 2025-04-27 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Stronger TNT variants
TNT blocks with two and five times the normal explosion strength for larger blasts.
Cluster TNT blocks

Nuclear and sphere bombs
A 100 by 100 block spherical nuke that spreads fire, a Classic Nuke built from consecutive explosions, and a sphere TNT.
Area destruction blocks
The Acre Destroyer and Memory Breaker clear large areas or apply very high blast power in a single explosion.
Randomizer and meteor blasts
The Randomizer Nuke scatters random TNT in place of fire, and the Meteor TNT spreads fire and sky-reaching explosions.

How it compares
Apocalypse TNT is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Mega TNT Mod is also a Forge build for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment and the same license. Silly TNT Mod shares that Forge version, environment and license, so the three differ mainly in their block sets.
