TNT Hopper Protect Wiki

Installation, configuration, behavior, and troubleshooting.

Overview

TNT Hopper Protect is a lightweight Paper server plugin. Its purpose is to keep hopper minecarts from being destroyed by TNT explosions without disabling the explosion or normal block damage.

Installation

  1. Download the plugin JAR.
  2. Place it in your Paper server's plugins folder.
  3. Fully restart the server.
  4. Confirm the plugin appears in your plugin list.

Configuration

The default configuration is:

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

An empty enabled-worlds list means protection is active in all worlds. Add world names to restrict protection to those worlds.

Behavior

The plugin protects hopper minecarts from explosion-related damage/destruction events. It does not cancel TNT explosions, so blocks and other unprotected entities continue to follow normal server behavior.

Troubleshooting

If hopper minecarts are still being destroyed, make sure an old plugin JAR is not still installed, restart the server completely, and check that protection is enabled for the current world.

If TNT stops breaking blocks, another plugin or server setting is likely modifying explosion block damage.
