Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the TNT Damage Booster commands in my world?
You need to have cheats enabled in your world. If you're in an existing world without cheats, create a new one and toggle cheats on during world creation, or use the pause menu to enable them. Once cheats are active, you can use the /trigger command immediately.
What does the damage value actually mean? Is 100 normal or something else?
A value of 100 represents standard vanilla TNT explosion damage. Values above 100 increase damage (200 = double damage), and values below 100 reduce it (50 = half damage). You can use any number, including decimals, to fine-tune the exact damage level you want.
Does TNT Damage Booster work with armor and protection enchantments?
Yes, the data pack calculates final damage after armor defense and Explosion Protection enchantments are applied. This means a player in full diamond armor with protection will still take reduced damage compared to an unarmored player, even with boosted TNT.
Can I change the TNT damage mid-game without restarting?
Yes, that's the main feature. Use /trigger tnt_damage set at any time, and the new damage multiplier applies immediately to all TNT explosions going forward.
