TNT: Reforged

TNT: Reforged is a Forge mod that adds a huge collection of powerful, fun and chaotic TNT blocks to Minecraft.

The goal of this mod is not just to add “bigger TNT”. Each TNT has its own behavior, visual style, crafting recipe, animation and special effect. Some are useful for mining, some are made for destruction, and some are just pure chaos.

45 Custom TNT Blocks

The mod currently adds 45 different TNT blocks, ranging from simple utility TNTs to huge legendary event-style explosions.

Main Features

• 45 unique TNT blocks
• Custom textures for every TNT
• Custom explosion behaviors
• Powerful large-scale explosions
• Instant / burst-style destruction system for better explosion feel
• Survival-friendly crafting recipes
• Recipe book unlock support
• Shift tooltip descriptions
• Player-affecting special TNT effects
• Creative and spectator players are protected by default
• Custom primed TNT animations
• Custom particle / visual FX system
• Optional placed TNT glow effect
• In-game client config menu
• Performance caps for large effects

Some TNT Examples

Nuke TNT

A massive destructive TNT that creates a huge explosion and leaves a large crater behind.

Black Hole TNT

Pulls nearby entities inward and finishes with a strong implosion.

Tsunami TNT

Creates huge temporary water waves that spread outward. The water is cleaned up afterward, so it does not permanently flood your world.

Tornado TNT

Spawns a large tornado event that pulls entities, items and players into the air, spins them around, and ends with a powerful final blast.

Laser TNT

Fires large red laser beams in four directions, cutting through blocks and damaging anything in the way.

Acid TNT

Creates a corrosive area that melts blocks, damages entities and leaves acid-like particles behind.

Crystal TNT

Explodes with an amethyst-style shard burst and deals extra shard damage around the blast.

Supernova TNT

A legendary cosmic TNT that creates a huge bright energy explosion with an afterglow field.

Reality Breaker TNT

A chaotic legendary TNT that creates reality rupture pulses, teleport jitter and a final shockwave.

Event-Based TNTs

Some TNTs do not just explode once. They create short events that continue for a few seconds.

• Tornado TNT creates a tornado event.
• Tsunami TNT creates temporary water waves.
• Storm God TNT creates a local lightning storm.
• Chrono Rift TNT creates time-rift pulses.
• Dragon Breath TNT leaves a lingering magical cloud.
• Hellfire TNT creates a dark Nether fire zone.
• Frost Nova TNT creates a large freezing nova field.

These TNTs are made to feel more like special events instead of normal explosions.

Survival Support

TNT: Reforged is not only made for creative mode testing. Every TNT has a crafting recipe and recipe book unlock support.

Stronger TNTs usually require more expensive materials, while simpler utility TNTs are easier to craft earlier in survival.

Players Are Affected Too

Special TNT effects also work on survival and adventure players.

• Tornado TNT can pull and throw you around.
• Tsunami TNT can push you with its wave.
• Laser TNT can damage you if you stand in the beam.
• Gravity and Black Hole TNT can pull you in.
• Repulsion TNT can launch you away.
• Reality Breaker TNT can distort and displace nearby entities.

Creative and spectator players are protected by default.

Custom Visual FX

The mod includes its own custom visual FX system for primed TNTs. This means some TNTs use custom particles instead of only relying on vanilla Minecraft particles.

Examples of custom FX include:

• Supernova flares
• Singularity sparks
• Chrono rift particles
• Reality shards
• Hellfire embers
• Frost crystals
• Portal runes
• Storm arcs
• Plasma arcs
• Slime splashes
• Sand grains
• Magnetic sparks

These effects make the TNTs feel more alive while they are ignited.

Placed TNT Glow

Placed TNT blocks can also have a subtle glow / pulse effect. This can be turned on or off from the config menu.

If you want a cleaner vanilla-like look, you can disable it. If you want the TNTs to feel more alive, you can keep it enabled.

Config Options

The mod includes many config options, including:

• TNT behavior values
• Player affect settings
• Placed TNT glow settings
• Advanced primed FX settings
• Particle density
• Render distance
• Max animated TNT limit
• Special TNT effect limits

This helps keep the mod fun while still giving control over performance and gameplay intensity.

Performance and Safety

Many TNTs in this mod are very powerful, but the mod uses caps and queue systems to keep large explosions more controlled.

Temporary effects are also cleaned up when needed.

• Tsunami water is temporary and gets cleaned up.
• Temporary slime blocks are removed after a short time.
• Event TNTs stop after their duration ends.
• Particles and animations have performance limits.
• Large block destruction uses safer capped processing.

Installation

1. Install Minecraft Forge 1.20.1.
2. Put the mod jar file into your mods folder.
3. Launch the game with the Forge profile.
4. Open the TNT: Reforged creative tab and start testing.

Small Note

This mod is made for players who enjoy big explosions, strange effects and chaotic Minecraft experiments.

Some TNTs mine. Some burn. Some freeze. Some pull everything into the air. Some break reality.

More TNT. Bigger chaos. Better explosions.
