Create TNT in action - house explosion demo

**Create TNT** replaces Minecraft's vanilla TNT explosions with high-explosive artillery-style blasts inspired by Create Big Cannons, featuring thick smoke plumes, expanding blast waves, and visceral camera shake. ## 📦 Installation 1. Install the appropriate mod loader (Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. 2. Place `createtnt-.jar` into your `.minecraft/mods` folder. 3. Launch the game and detonate some TNT! This mod requires both client and server for full functionality on most versions. The 1.8.9 build is client-side only and can be used on vanilla servers. ## ✨ Features - **Massive smoke plumes** — billowing artillery-style smoke clouds that rise and expand using particle physics from Create Big Cannons - **Blast wave effect** — visible shockwave that expands outward from the detonation point - **Camera shake** — spring-damper physics-based screen shake with quadratic distance falloff - **Delayed boom sound** — explosion audio travels at the speed of sound, reaching you after the blast wave - **Realistic explosion physics** — energy-transfer block destruction with separate block/entity damage radii - **Chain TNT detonation** — adjacent TNT primed from the blast, creating spectacular chain reactions - **Animated smoke textures** — 10-frame sprite animation for authentic shell explosion look ![Explosion plume 1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-9-5s.png) ![Explosion plume 2](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-10-0s.png) ![Explosion plume 3](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-10-2s.png) ![Explosion plume 4](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-10-3s.png) ![Explosion plume 5](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-11-2s.png) ![Explosion aftermath](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-21-7s.png) ![Explosion aftermath 2](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-21-8s.png) ![Explosion aftermath 3](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-22-0s.png) ![Explosion aftermath 4](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-22-1s.png) ![Explosion aftermath 5](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/main/assets/screenshots/createtnt/screen-recording-2026-08-10-at-10-52-29-small-22-2s.png) ## 🧩 Compatibility | Minecraft | Loader | Status | Version type | |-----------|-------------|--------------|--------------| | 26.1.2 | Fabric | ✅ Supported | Latest | | 26.1.2 | NeoForge | ✅ Supported | Latest | | 1.21.11 | Fabric | ✅ Supported | Stable | | 1.21.1 | Fabric | ✅ Supported | Stable | | 1.21.1 | NeoForge | ✅ Supported | Stable | | 1.20.1 | Fabric | ✅ Supported | Stable | | 1.20.1 | Forge | ✅ Supported | Stable | | 1.12.2 | Forge | ✅ Supported | Legacy | | 1.8.9 | Forge | ✅ Supported | Client-only | **Required dependencies:** None (no Fabric API or other library mods needed). **Known incompatibilities:** None known. Should work alongside Sodium, Iris, and other optimization mods. ## ❓ FAQ **Does this need to be installed on the server?** Most versions require both sides for the full enhanced explosion physics. The 1.8.9 build is client-side only and works on vanilla servers by intercepting explosion packets. **Is this compatible with other explosion mods?** This mod replaces vanilla TNT explosion handling. Compatibility with mods that also modify explosions may vary. **Can I use this in my modpack?** Yes! You are free to include this mod in any Modrinth or CurseForge-hosted modpack. Credit is appreciated. **Does this change block destruction mechanics?** Yes — the server-side versions use energy-transfer block destruction instead of vanilla's spherical blast, creating more realistic craters. **I found a bug, where do I report it?** Report issues on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/Sekai0NI0itamio/ModItamio/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Acreatetnt). Please include your Minecraft version, modloader, mod version, and a crash log if applicable. ## 💖 Support the Project If you enjoy this mod, consider supporting development:
