TNT Timer
A lightweight client-side mod that adds a smooth countdown timer above primed TNT entities. Never miscalculate an explosion again!
Features
- Real-Time Countdown: Displays remaining fuse time directly above active TNT in seconds.
- Dynamic Color Palette: The timer text changes color as the fuse runs out (from white/green to bright red).
- Client-Side Only: Works seamlessly on vanilla servers and multiplayer networks — no server installation needed!
- Lag-Free Performance: Highly optimized entity rendering logic that won't drop your FPS even during large explosions.
Version Differences & Render Range
To ensure maximum stability and zero frozen timers, the render range is calibrated per loader:
- Fabric (1.21 - 1.21.1): Renders TNT up to 64 blocks away with partial-tick smooth interpolation.
- Forge (1.19.2): Renders TNT up to 32 blocks away for rock-solid stability and compatibility.
Installation
- Make sure you have Fabric Loader (or Forge) installed.
- Download Fabric API (required for the Fabric version).
- Drop tnt-timer.jar into your .minecraft/mods folder.
- Jump into the game and enjoy!
