TNTimer
by Gabrieli2806
With TNTimer on screen, a player can see when primed TNT is about to explode, counted down in seconds above each block or in a HUD panel.
What it does
TNTimer is a client-side Minigame mod that shows a countdown for every primed TNT entity. Each primed TNT in the world can carry its own countdown, shown either as a label floating over the block or as a HUD panel that sits in one of seven screen spots, including under the cursor. Up to 10 countdowns can be tracked at once, and the limit is set in the configuration from 1 to 10. The countdown is shown with a 3.5-second style of precision, and the label changes color as the fuse runs down: white at the start, orange in the last two seconds and red in the final second.
The mod is aimed at minigames where the timing of an explosion matters, such as TNT jumps in Bedwars, SkyWars and parkour maps. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and for the server platforms Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Quilted Fabric API or Quilt Standard Libraries is required on Quilt. Mod Menu is optional. Files cover the game versions 1.5.2 – 26.3, and the latest builds for 26.3 are dated 2026-10-09. Snapshot builds are also published.
Key features
3D world timers
A floating countdown appears directly above each TNT entity, so the remaining time stays with the block.
HUD timer panel
An on-screen display can be placed in one of seven positions, with an optional semi-transparent background for readability.
Color-coded warnings
The timer turns orange for the last two seconds and red for the final second, giving an immediate visual cue.
Multiple TNT tracking
Up to 10 countdowns can run simultaneously, with the number adjustable from 1 to 10 in the settings.
Localization
The interface is translated into 18 languages, so players on different language settings can use the mod.
