Vanilla TNT
This plugin makes TNT behave exactly like it does in Java Edition. It recreates real block physics, explosion power, and crater shapes so TNT feels natural and consistent on modern Paper servers.
Features
Accurate TNT physics from Java
Proper crater formation
Natural block break patterns
Works with survival, creative and multiplayer
Lightweight and fast
Why use this?
Paper’s default TNT can sometimes feel different from pure vanilla. This plugin fixes that so your server gets real Java-style explosions.
