TNT Damage Booster Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
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.
Does this mod affect TNT damage to blocks or only to mobs and players?
The data pack focuses on damage dealt to living entities (players and mobs). Block destruction from TNT follows standard Minecraft rules and is not modified by this pack.
Will using TNT Damage Booster cause lag or performance issues?
No, the pack uses scoreboards to track damage calculations cleanly without impacting game performance, even during intense PvP or large-scale explosions.
What happens if I set the damage value to 0 or negative numbers?
Setting the value to 0 will disable TNT damage entirely. Negative values are not recommended and may cause unexpected behavior; stick to 0 or positive numbers for predictable results.
Can I use TNT Damage Booster on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the data pack works on servers. Only players with appropriate permissions (usually operators) can use the /trigger command to change damage settings, which then apply to all players on the server.
How do I remove TNT Damage Booster from my world completely?
Run the command /function tnt_damage:uninstall to clean up all scoreboard values and settings, then remove the data pack from your world folder. This ensures no leftover data remains.
Does the damage multiplier affect TNT fired from dispensers or lit by redstone?
Yes, any TNT explosion in your world—whether ignited by hand, redstone, fire, or any other method—uses the current damage multiplier setting.
