About this Mod
What does this mod do?
This mod improves TNT performance
The goal is to reduce lag while keeping TNT behavior as close to vanilla as possible.
How close to vanilla is it?
I tried to keep the mod as close to vanilla as possible. However, because the number of active TNT entities is limited, there is a small chance that some edge cases will behave slightly differently.
How does it work
It works by limiting the amount of tnt rendered client side to 75
Also limis the amount of explosion particles the client renders to 100
On the server side of the mod we limit more things:
- we limit how much tnt is active at once
- we limit how much tnt explodes at the same tick
- we limit how much tnt ticks in the same tick
- we limit how much tnt can be triggered in the same tick
Will it break my TNT cannons?
Most TNT cannons should continue to work normally.
However, if your cannon relies on more than 250 TNT entities being active at the same time, it may not function correctly.
So yes, this will almost certainly break an orbital strike cannon.

Server lagging with tntOptimizer – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if tntOptimizer consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
