Overview

A tiny lightweight plugin that lets players throw TNT with a left-click. Fully configurable: power, fuse-time, explode-radius, damage, block breaking, hot-reload, and custom identification to avoid mixing with vanilla TNT. Zero dependencies, designed for Spigot/Paper 1.17 and up

Key Features

• Left-click to throw TNT (configurable power & fuse)

• Custom radius & max damage with distance falloff

• Toggle block breaking per explosion

• Optional custom ID in lore to distinguish “our TNT” from vanilla (ON by default)

• /throwabletnt reload to reload configs & messages

• Multi-language via messages_(language).yml

• Zero dependencies, small footprint, event-driven, no schedulers
