TNTUtils
I don't know my version or loader
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_explosionsand#tntutils:allow_explosionscan be used to disallow or allow certain entity types to create explosions - in 1.20+, the entity tags (they are applied with the
/tagcommand, not to be confused with entity type tags)tntutils.deny_explosionsandtntutils.allow_explosionscan be used to disallow or allow individual entities to create explosions
- in 1.20+, the entity type tags
- 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_blacklistand#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
- in 1.20+, individual blocks can be blacklisted or whitelisted with the block tags
- 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_blacklistand#tntutils:trigger_whitelistcan be used to blacklist or whitelist individual blocks
- the block tags
- Prevent explosions from damaging all or certain entities
