TNT Expanded
by medilmods
Players who want more explosives in survival or creative worlds can add TNT Expanded, which brings a TNT sword, a full TNT armor set and liquid TNT to Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
TNT Expanded adds TNT-themed equipment and a fluid to the game. The TNT sword explodes when it hits an entity or when it is right-clicked on a block. The TNT armor set is a full set that makes its wearer immune to explosions. Liquid TNT is a fluid that can be collected in a bucket, so it can be carried and placed like other liquids.
The mod suits players who treat TNT as the main theme of a world and want more ways to use it, and it fits both single-player and multiplayer servers. It is server-side only, so only the server needs to run it, and players join without installing anything. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file on both loaders. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases
Explosive survival worlds
Players who build around explosives can use the sword and armor as tools and protection in fights and mining.
Multiplayer servers

Who it’s for: Players who enjoy TNT as a central part of their world, and server owners who want to offer TNT-themed equipment without requiring a client install.
How it compares
Simple TNT mod is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, with the client and server environment and the All rights reserved license, and it is not open source. Small TNT is server required and client optional, published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21.5 – 26.3 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is not open source. TNT Expanded is server-side only and covers only Forge and NeoForge, so it differs from both in loaders and environment.
