TNT To Firework

by OldManPlaysGames

TNT To Firework changes what ignited TNT does on a server, turning it into a randomly styled firework rocket in the Overworld.

What it does

The mod is a server-side Fabric and NeoForge mod that hooks the entity spawn lifecycle and intercepts TntEntity instances in the Overworld. Each intercepted TNT is replaced by a FireworkRocketEntity with randomized explosion components, so the blast becomes a colored, shaped and trailed display instead of a crater. Players on the server need no client install to see the change.

The mod was written against a server grief case, where a player tried to blow up a base with TNT. Because the replacement happens at spawn, the TNT itself never detonates in the Overworld. The rules are fixed in the code, with no configuration options described on the Modrinth page.

Key features

  1. Randomized firework rockets

    Each replaced TNT becomes a rocket with a random shape, color set, fade, trail and twinkle effect.

  2. Overworld-only replacement

    Ignited TNT is swapped out only in the Overworld dimension, leaving other dimensions unchanged.

  3. Spawn-time interception

    The swap happens when the TNT entity spawns, so the explosion never reaches the terrain.
