TNT Item

by marbrueck

TNT Item is a server-side data pack that turns mined blocks into TNT, so breaking a block can set off an explosion.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.4 – 26.3

What it does

Once the data pack is loaded, blocks that a player breaks drop TNT in place of their usual item. Breaking stone, dirt or wood can therefore start a chain of explosions, which makes the pack suited to chaotic challenge worlds and minigame servers. It is distributed as a zip file placed in the datapack folder of a world or server.

The data pack runs on a server, and players join it without installing anything. The server needs a required Fabric API or Timer only when those are present; both are listed as optional dependencies. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build 0.3.0+mod for 26.3 released on 2026-04-01. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Blocks drop TNT

    Mining a block spawns a TNT entity where the item would normally appear.

  2. Chaos challenges

    Because every broken block can explode, the pack works as a challenge for builders and miners.

  3. Zip datapack install

    Drag the zip file into the datapack folder of the world or server, then check the datapack list in game.

Questions

Does TNT Item need Fabric API?

Fabric API is an optional dependency, so the pack works without it. Timer is also optional.

What the author says

This simple data pack spawns items created by destroying blocks or dropping them as TNT. This data pack is therefore ideal for challenges or simply for creating a chaotic world.
