Tnt Limiter
With Tnt Limiter installed, large TNT explosions on the client render with less lag, because the mod caps how many TNT entities are drawn at once.
What it does
Tnt Limiter is a Fabric mod that changes how the client handles TNT. The author states that it limits the number of TNT entities rendered on screen, which is aimed at scenes with very large explosions and long TNT chains. The mod also reworks the logic that removes TNT once it has gone off, so explosions are cleared from the world faster and with less work per tick.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players who join a server without it play with the server's rules as usual. Fabric API is required and has to be installed alongside it. Files are published for Fabric across 25 release versions, 1.19 – 26.1, and the author reports testing on 1.19 and 1.21.4. The mod is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Rendering limit for TNT
The number of TNT entities drawn on the client is capped, which the author links to lower lag during massive explosions.
Faster explosion cleanup
Explosions are removed from the world sooner and with a more efficient unrending process than in earlier builds.
Handling long chains
Chains of many TNT blocks are handled with improved logic, which the author describes as a significant gain over previous versions.
In-game configuration command
Settings are changed through an in-game command rather than a configuration screen, since ModMenu support was removed.
