Explosion Overhaul - Complete Transformation of Explosions in Minecraft
Cinematic explosions with enhanced physics that feel powerful and dynamic.
Explosion Overhaul completely reworks Minecraft's standard explosion system, adding captivating visual effects and sound accompaniment - an ideal solution for adventure, combat, realistic, and even technical modpacks.
🚀 Main Features
Universal Compatibility: The mod works with all standard explosions and most explosive substances from other modifications, including creepers, TNT, crystals, and fireballs.
Realistic Debris: Explosions launch surrounding blocks into the air as falling entities with random speed, trajectory, and rotation, significantly enhancing the destructive potential of explosions.
Screen Shake: Players near an explosion experience configurable camera shake, the intensity of which depends on the explosion's power and distance to it.
Ear-Ringing Effect: When close to powerful explosions, an ambient ringing sound plays, enhancing the feeling of impact. Disabled by default, may cause discomfort at high volume levels.
Full Customizability: All functions can be finely tuned through the config/explosion-overhaul.json file, including:
- Number of debris, speed ranges, and spawn chance
- Shake strength, effect radius, and duration
- Sound effects on/off
- Debug logging
