Description

Versions:

From 1.21 to 26.1.2

Sorry, but only fully tested on 1.21.11 . It still should work on other versions mentioned above.

Throwable TNT

Lit TNT doesn't have to be a death sentence. Grab it and throw it before it blows.

How it works

  • Pick up: right-click a lit (primed) TNT.
  • Carry: the TNT floats in front of you, lower right. The fuse keeps ticking.
  • Throw: right-click or left-click to toss it forward a random 3-5 blocks.

Hold on too long and it goes off in your hands.

Details

  • Works on any primed TNT, including TNT lit by chain reactions.
  • Throws follow the direction you're facing on a fixed arc, whatever your pitch.
  • Short cooldown after pickup and after a throw, so holding right-click doesn't instantly re-grab or re-throw.
  • While you carry TNT, any click throws it, so you can't mine or attack until you let go.
  • Other players can't take TNT you're carrying.
  • If you die while carrying TNT, it drops.
  • Multiplayer-friendly: each player carries their own TNT.

Installation

  1. Download Throwable TNT.zip.
  2. Put it in datapacks folder.
  3. Run /reload (or restart the world/server).

Do not unzip it. Keep it as a .zip.

Compatibility

  • Minecraft Java Edition 1.21+
  • Datapacks don't work on Bedrock.
  • Adds a few scoreboard objectives (tt_*) and marks TNT and invisible interaction entities with tt_* tags. It shouldn't conflict with other packs.
