Description

Pyre

Vanilla faithful TNT and explosion optimization for Minecraft.

What Pyre Does

Pyre improves performance in TNT heavy situations and large explosion chains by optimizing internal explosion processing.

The goal is simple: keep explosions feeling and behaving like vanilla, while reducing the lag and stuttering that can happen when many blasts go off at once.

Pyre does not change explosion timing, radius, damage, knockback, or block results. It is focused on performance, not gameplay changes.

Why Use Pyre

If you want better smoothness during TNT usage without changing core mechanics, Pyre is built for that.

This makes it useful for:

  • TNT heavy builds
  • Large chained explosions
  • Vanilla style technical gameplay
  • Players using broader optimization mod stacks

Features

  • Better performance during TNT heavy scenarios
  • Reduced lag spikes during large explosion chains
  • Vanilla faithful behavior
  • Lightweight implementation
  • Compatibility focused design

Important Notes

  • Built for Minecraft 1.21.11
  • Primarily aimed at singleplayer and integrated server usage
  • Does not rebalance or alter explosions
  • Keeps vanilla mechanics intact
  • Designed to work well alongside other optimization mods

In Short

Pyre makes heavy explosions smoother without changing how vanilla explosions work.

Modrinth profile GitHub profile

Pyre

Pyre is an experimental Minecraft optimization mod focused on reducing client and integrated-server stutter during heavy TNT and explosion situations.

What it does

Pyre optimizes selected explosion-related workload paths to reduce unnecessary repeated work during bursty explosion events.

The goal is to keep normal Minecraft explosion behavior intact while improving smoothness in TNT-heavy scenarios.

Current status

Pyre is currently focused on Minecraft 1.21.11 and is intended for singleplayer and integrated-server use.

This project is still early. Performance gains may vary depending on world size, TNT count, hardware, and installed mods.

Features

  • Reduces some overhead during heavy explosion activity
  • Focuses on TNT-heavy and chained explosion scenarios
  • Keeps gameplay-facing explosion behavior as close to vanilla as possible
  • Lightweight implementation
  • Designed to avoid changing game balance

Important notes

  • Pyre is not a gameplay-changing TNT mod.
  • Pyre does not intentionally change explosion power, TNT fuse time, damage, knockback, or block destruction rules.
  • Pyre is not a replacement for general optimization mods like Sodium, Lithium, or FerriteCore.
  • Compatibility with other optimization mods may vary and should be tested per modpack.

Summary

Pyre aims to make TNT-heavy situations smoother without intentionally changing how vanilla explosions behave.
