TNTime
TNTime shows a countdown above primed TNT so players can see how long remains before it explodes.
What it does
A timer is drawn over each primed TNT block and counts down to the detonation. The display is a client-side render, so only the player running the client needs the mod. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required.
Key features
Countdown over primed TNT
A readable timer appears above each primed TNT block and shows the seconds left until it explodes.
Works with custom fuse times
The timer follows the actual fuse length, so it stays accurate on servers that use a custom explosion time.
Toggle in the config
The display can be switched off through the mod's config screen when the timer is not wanted.

What the author says
Shows how long until a TNT explodes! This mod renders a timer over primed TNT to let you know how long until it explodes, similar to Sk1er's original mod for 1.8.9. This mod should also work on most servers, even those that use a custom TNT explosion time, such as Hypixel Bed Wars!
