About this project

What does TNT Hopper Protect add?

TNT Hopper Protect

TNT Hopper Protect is a lightweight Minecraft plugin and mod that protects hopper minecarts from TNT explosions while keeping normal TNT block destruction enabled.

✨ Features

  • 🛒 Protects hopper minecarts from explosion damage
  • 💥 TNT still explodes and destroys regular blocks normally
  • 📦 Keeps hopper-minecart collection and transport systems intact
  • ⚡ Lightweight and focused
  • 🌎 Paper supports all worlds or selected worlds
  • 🔧 Simple configuration
  • 🧩 Supports Paper, Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge
  • 📢 New stable Modrinth releases are automatically announced on the website and Discord

How It Works

TNT Hopper Protect changes only hopper-minecart explosion behavior. When an explosion would damage or destroy a hopper minecart, that destruction is prevented. The explosion is not cancelled, so surrounding blocks are still affected normally.

Paper Configuration

protect-hopper-minecarts: true
enabled-worlds: []

An empty enabled-worlds list enables protection in every world. Add world names to limit protection to selected worlds.

Current release: v4.0 for Minecraft 26.3.
