TNTUtils

A small mod that provides some config options and tags to control how explosions behave.

TNTUtils can be installed on a server without the clients requiring it.

Note that explosions from other mods are not guaranteed be affected by TNTUtils, unless they use one of the Level.explode overloads.

Current features:

• Change the size of explosions or disable them entirely

  • in 1.20+, the entity type tags #tntutils:deny_explosions and #tntutils:allow_explosions can be used to disallow or allow certain entity types to create explosions
  • in 1.20+, the entity tags (they are applied with the /tag command, not to be confused with entity type tags) tntutils.deny_explosions and tntutils.allow_explosions can be used to disallow or allow individual entities to create explosions
• Disable TNT explosions
• Prevent TNT from chain-reacting
• A "/explode" command (called "/explosion" in 1.12.2 and earlier)
• Change blast resistances of individual blocks

• Modify the chance that a destroyed block will drop as an item

  • in 1.20+, see also the game rules "mobExplosionDropDecay", "tntExplosionDropDecay" and "blockExplosionDropDecay"

• Prevent explosions from destroying blocks

  • in 1.20+, individual blocks can be blacklisted or whitelisted with the block tags #tntutils:explosion_blacklist and #tntutils:explosion_whitelist, respectively. The whitelist takes precedence over the blacklist and over any config option.
  • in 1.12.2 and earlier, individual blocks can be specified in the config file
• Prevent Creepers from destroying blocks ("environmentally friendly creepers")

• Prevent explosions from triggering blocks (e.g. Wind Charge explosion flipping levers)

  • the block tags #tntutils:trigger_blacklist and #tntutils:trigger_whitelist can be used to blacklist or whitelist individual blocks

• Prevent explosions from damaging all or certain entities

  • in 1.20+, the entity type tags #tntutils:explosion_blacklist and #tntutils:explosion_whitelist can be used to blacklist or whitelist individual entity types

• Prevent explosions from damaging items laying on the ground

  • in 1.20+, the item tags #tntutils:explosion_blacklist and #tntutils:explosion_whitelist can be used to blacklist or whitelist individual items

All of these features can be toggled in the config file.
