TNTQueue

by somyk

TNTQueue caps how many primed TNT entities can be active at once on a server, holding extra blasts in a queue until space frees up.

What it does

When the number of active primed TNT passes the configured limit, new TNT is placed in a queue and activated later. The limit and the queue size are set in the config and can be changed in-game with a command, which requires the tntqueue.modify permission at op level. The goal is to keep explosions manageable so a busy server does not get overwhelmed. Because spawning is changed, vanilla TNT behavior is altered while the mod runs. Fabric API is required, and LuckPerms is optional for managing the permission. Only the server needs the mod; players join without installing it. Files target 1.21 – 1.21.10 and are released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so the source code is open.

Key features

  1. Active TNT limit

    Sets a maximum number of primed TNT entities that may exist at the same time.

  2. Queued detonations

    TNT placed above the limit waits in a queue and is activated once the active count drops.

  3. In-game configuration

    Limits can be adjusted with a command, for example raising the cap to 3 TNT, by an op with the tntqueue.modify permission.

What the author says

When the active TNT count exceeds the configured limit, additional TNT is placed into a queue and activated later, ensuring explosions remain manageable without overwhelming the server. Warning: this may break the vanilla behavior of TNT, as the logic of its spawn has changed.
