Description

This data pack allows you to turn any world into a TNT hunting mini-game, where one block is secretly a piece of super-powered TNT, and you have a limited number of guesses to find it! Each guess will tell you how far away the TNT is, so you can gradually deduce its actual location. But if you think it's nearby, be careful, as mining it will instantly end the game! Still confused? Check out the example video at the bottom of this page!

There are several functions for changing settings and playing the game:

Command Description
/function findthetnt:start_game Hides a piece of TNT and starts the selected Game Mode.
/function findthetnt:end_game Instantly ends the current game and cleans up the arena.
/function findthetnt:settings Allows you to change the Game Mode, adjust gameplay settings, and change the size of the arena.
/function findthetnt:set_world_center Changes the center of the arena to the command execution location.

Here are all of the settings in the settings menu:

  • Game Mode Settings
    • Limited Time
      • The game lasts for a limited amount of time, and every guess removes some time from the timer. The game time and the amount removed per-guess can be configured.
      • Guess Limit
        • The game lasts for an unlimited amount of time, but there are a limited number of guesses, which can be configured.
    • Play Area Settings
      • This controls the size of the Play Area, measured in the diameter of the area in blocks (similar to how the World Border works). Where the Play Area is centered must be changed with the findthetnt:set_world_center function.
    • Flag Settings
      • Distance
        • Failed guesses will display how many blocks away the hidden TNT is.
      • Hot/Cold
        • Failed guesses will display whether they are closer or further away (hotter or colder) without giving exact numbers. The closest flag will as always marked with "CLOSEST".
    • Settings Preset
      • This allows players to easily copy/paste their settings as a single piece of text for sharing and reuse.

Known Limitations:

  1. I have not tested this game in Multiplayer, I think it should generally work, but I have a feeling there may be some issues I've not yet considered, so please report these on my Discord if you find them.
