TNT Tweak
TNT Tweak changes how TNT reacts to lava: a TNT block that touches lava triggers an explosion that clears the nearby lava pool.
What it does
Lava in the Nether and the Overworld is hard to clear by hand, and the mod lets TNT do that work. When a TNT block comes into contact with lava, it ignites and detonates, removing lava blocks in its blast radius rather than leaving them in place. The effect is limited to nearby obstacles and lava, so the rest of the terrain is left alone.
The mod is a Fabric utility for 1.20.4 only, released as version 1.0.0 on 2024-05-24 on the beta channel. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it and only the server runs it. TNT Tweak is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code is public. It has no required dependencies beyond Fabric itself.
Key features
Lava-triggered TNT
A TNT block that touches lava detonates on contact instead of waiting for a fuse or redstone signal.
Targeted lava removal
The blast clears lava pools near the explosion without destroying the surrounding terrain.
Nether lava clearing
Players can clear lava lakes in the Nether with a single placement of TNT instead of removing each block.
Limited blast effect
The explosion affects only obstacles and lava within its radius, so nearby structures are not wiped out.

Use cases
Clearing Nether lava

Lava pool cleanup
Builders on a server can remove lava from a site before construction without digging out each block.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on Fabric who want TNT to clear lava. The server needs the mod, and players can join without installing it.
How it compares
InfiniteLava4Fabric is a server-side Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License and not open source, covering a different part of lava behavior. TNT Time is open source under the MIT License and runs client-side only for 1.17.1 – 1.20.1, so it works differently from this server-side mod.
