TNT Every 5 Seconds
by adamjaroui23
TNT Every 5 Seconds makes a primed TNT block appear at a player's position every five seconds, already ignited, on a Fabric server.
What it does
Every five seconds the mod spawns a primed TNT entity where a player stands, already lit and using the vanilla default fuse. The timer runs on the server, so it affects every online player at once. Because the logic lives on the server, single-player worlds and multiplayer servers behave the same way, and players need nothing installed to be affected.
The mod is a small Fabric addition aimed at chaotic play: challenge runs, minigames and cursed survival worlds where unpredictable explosions are the point. Its footprint is light, with a single timed effect and no extra blocks or screens. The license is MIT, and the code is not open source in the sense of a public repository listing here; the author published 2.0.0 for 26.1.2 on 2026-04-29, and it was last updated the same day.
Files target Fabric only, with builds covering 1.21.4 – 26.1.2 across eleven release versions, including 1.21.4, 1.21.5 and 26.1.2. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own.
Key features
Timed TNT spawns
Primed TNT appears at each player's position on a fixed five-second cycle.
Vanilla fuse timing
Spawned TNT uses the default fuse length from the base game, so explosions follow normal timing.
Online player targeting
The timer affects every connected player, which suits group challenges and minigames.
Lightweight design
The mod adds one timed effect and no new blocks, items or screens to the world.

How it compares
TNT Countdown is a client-side only Fabric, Forge and Ornithe mod under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, open source, for 1.8.9 – 26.3, so it works on a single player's client rather than on the server. Cheaper TNT is also server-side only and MIT licensed, but targets 26.2 alone and changes TNT cost rather than spawning it. TNT Storm Every Minute runs on both client and server for 1.21.6 – 1.21.11 and spawns TNT on a one-minute interval.
