I'm sure it respects permission nodes and the such, like the boring machine does.

I now have Diet Coke all over my screen. Lovely.
It already has a config to turn it off, but I will also add a server log message so that any admin can track who caused what detonations.
Well, it is a response to posts here. It would also not be the first time this thread has been derailed.
Fair enough. tbh, I never followed the thread, I just saw your post, and the thread topic, and said wtf.
This is a good idea, I like it.
I wonder if this would respect grief prevention plugins. I suppose it would depend how the plugin was coded. Since the item is activated elsewhere, if the plugin stops interaction, I don't know if it would work. If the plugin intercepts explosion events (I think some of them may), it would stop the explosion from damaging players/blocks, so it would probably work.
I think some testing with grief prevention plugins would reveal quite a bit!

I cannot test with them, as they require Bukkit and cannot even be loaded in a dev environment.
Also, it is my own custom explosion code, so explosion plugins will not protect against it.
OK, so what happens is that a line is left in the log saying "Ender TNT placed by [placer] just detonated at [target, including dimID]", a message which is also sent to every admin online at the time.

Yeah, maybe prevent it from being placed by non-players? If possible that is.

Normally I'm on the side of "Seriously, a pickaxe can be used to grief. You disabling those too?" But holy crap am I glad that you're making this one configurable and auto-log. I can actually see the pure unbridled and nearly untraceable griefing potential on this one. Thank you for giving us admins a config and logging! Now if only XCompWiz had an entity blacklist for mystcraft...
It is possible to prevent actions from FakePlayers (See the Applied Energistics Grindstone, and the Clockwork engine from... Forestry?), whether or not it's easy or feasible is another story.

Could be very problematic to code [given the number of "block placers"] and as soon as you do that there'll be a new placer than can place it.
Design wise this breaks continuity/consistency [I can place Xblock but not Yblock?] --unless Ender TNT has some lore about who/what can place it successfully. (like the Xutils watering can being "broken" by machines)
@ljfa not every fake player is coded the same way; there's also stuff like Buildcraft's builder/filler to consider alongside the 'right click machines'
Anyway, you still need a player to set the target coords, so it'll always be traceable.
Could a placer possibly place something that contains the TNT, place a place, have that placer place anither one, and pump TNT into the last one to activate?
The first half of this thread is reallllllly drama-inducing, but somehow we're now talking about tracking who placed down a block of TNT on a server using RC.

So ... exactly how is dimensional TNT horrible, but normal mystcraft portals not? I've seen people drop withers through portals, there's nothing to stop a mob farm from dropping, etc.
Heck, thinking about it, what could you do with a normal nether portal and some pistons to push stuff?

Because normal mystcraft portals are useful for something OTHER than exploding things remotely. They are the single most useful method of medium-or-larger distance transport I've yet encountered. They're nearly completely configurable as to locations, they can work intra-dimension as well as inter-dimension... They fix every single problem I've ever had with a transport system, and they don't require power (Yeah, sorry. Getting me to my friends base isn't something I think should drain my main power net, nor should it require maintenance, or drain stuff when I'm not using it... which is why I don't use Enhanced Portals).
The only issue is there's no blacklist/whitelist for entities that are allowed to travel through a portal. That's literally it.
