Unlucky TNT

by PhilTheBuilder1

Unlucky TNT, a Forge mod by PhilTheBuilder1, adds more than 40 TNT variants that each behave differently when they fuse.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.19.3 – 1.20.1

What it does

Each added TNT has its own effect. Some are aimable and launch themselves toward a target, some build a 7x7x7 obsidian cube around themselves, and some spread and grow stronger over time. Timeable TNT waits a second after fusing and needs a redstone input before it explodes. Biological TNT spreads faster the longer it runs, and the author warns that it is extremely dangerous when randomTickSpeed is set high.

The mod depends on Lucky TNT Lib, which must be installed alongside it. Unlucky TNT runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need the mod for the variants to work in multiplayer. The files target Forge for 1.19.3, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.10 for 1.20.1 as the latest release, published on 2023-12-27. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
