"""
    Turns out TNT respawning got changed during the 1.5 update.
    At first I planned to make an accurate timer text that just counts down seconds to respawn.
    However, to prevent timer stacking, Eric decided to update the timer every 1.1s seconds instead of the standard 1.0s.
    This makes it a pain to mod, so instead I had to make some compromises and go for a percentage charge instead.
    
    The goal here is to make it easier to intuit when the box respawns, so you can still play around it.
    Percentage until respawn is still more helpful than absolutely nothing.
    I wanted to keep the original TNT box's respawn design here, so I didn't touch the timer.
    I prefer adding onto existing behavior than editing existing code.
    This mod is supposed to be a quality of life thing after all.
