TntTimer
by Fortunich
TntTimer shows a countdown above each primed TNT block, so players can see when a blast will go off.
What it does
Each primed TNT block displays its fuse countdown as text and as a progress bar above it. A HUD panel lists every active timer, ordered by urgency, and the color of each timer shifts with the remaining time. A full-screen warning appears when a detonation is close and the player is inside the blast radius, with an alert sound as the moment approaches.
Custom name detection lets players attach a label to individual TNT, which helps when several charges are placed in a cannon or line. A labeled-only setting, disabled by default, limits the display to named blocks. Colors, positions, animations and sounds are adjustable in a built-in config screen, which opens from the Mod Menu entry or with the O key by default; the key can be changed in the settings.
Fabric API is the one dependency the mod needs, and the config library is included with the mod. TntTimer runs on the client alone, and it has files only for Fabric, covering 1.20.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.11, under All rights reserved. The source is not open source; the public issue tracker is the only public link.
