Iron TNT (formerly Acro's Tactical Explosives)

Welcome to the updated version of the legendary mod that significantly expands Minecraft's explosive arsenal! After years of development, the author presents a completely redesigned and improved explosive system with extensive configuration options.

Explosive Hierarchy

The foundation of the mod is the tiered TNT enhancement system. Each subsequent version is crafted from the previous one and possesses greater destructive power. The mod uses the real measurement of explosive power - "RE factor" (relative effectiveness to TNT). Unlike standard Minecraft mechanics, explosions here are instantaneous and do not create separate entities.

Activation Methods

Explosives are divided into two types based on detonation method. Regular ones can be activated by any fire source adjacent to the block or with flint and steel. More powerful versions require special detonation methods - detonation powder or redstone. Detonation powder activates through explosion, while redstone dust creates a chain reaction when placed sequentially.

Explosive Barrels

All barrels belong to the regular explosive type and can be activated by standard methods or even arrows. Each barrel has the same RE factor as its corresponding TNT type.

Exclusive Explosive Types

• Radiating TNT - applies wither effect to all creatures within explosion radius
• Gravitation TNT - makes everything around fly up into the air
• British TNT - let's keep the intrigue for self-discovery
• Incendiary TNT - creates a fire zone within 5 blocks of the epicenter

Throwable Explosives (from version 1.14+)

These TNT versions can be thrown with the Q key (or assigned drop key). They fly significantly further than regular items and automatically explode after 100 ticks with half the power of the base type.

Utility Tools

• Flint and stone - reusable fire source with 8 uses
• Vacuum on a stick - effectively attracts items from a distance
• Remote Explosive Device (R.E.D) - SHIFT + RMB sets explosion point, regular RMB triggers detonation

Configuration

The mod offers deep customization: you can change RE factor for each TNT type, throwable items lifetime, throwing distance, and tooltip display.

Compatibility

The mod is available for Forge and Fabric versions of Minecraft 1.16.x.

The author is open to collaboration - translators, texture creators, and new project development ideas are welcome.
