The boom box placed in the world
The fuse is burning. RUN!!!
Can be used for harvesting trees if you left your axe at home.
Use for turbo mining! Ore and tree logs can be collected after the detonation.
Description
Hytale Boom Box
Boom Box that booms the Boom Powder.
A Hytale server plugin that adds craftable explosive Boom Boxes to your world. Place one, light the fuse, and watch the crater form — ores and wood drop as loot, fluids rush in to fill the void, and chain explosions ignite any nearby boxes caught in the blast.
How it works
- Place a Boom Box block in the world like any other block.
- Right-click it to light the fuse. The block visually changes to show it's armed.
- Run! After the fuse burns down the box detonates, carving a spherical crater and sending shockwaves through any other Boom Boxes nearby.
What the explosion does
- Destroys all blocks within the blast radius.
- Ore blocks drop their ore. Wood logs and trunks drop wood and bring down the whole tree above them.
- Deals damage to nearby players and NPCs, falling off with distance. Players in creative mode are not harmed.
- Fluids (water, lava) adjacent to the crater flow in naturally after the blast.
- Any other Boom Box — armed or not — caught within the blast radius immediately chain-detonates.

Commands
The root command is /boombox (alias: /bb) and is only available for operators (/op self)
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/boombox fuse <seconds> |
Set the fuse duration in seconds before detonation. Min: 1. Default: 4. |
/boombox force <value> |
Set the blast force. Min: 1. Default: 5. A value too high might crash the game! |
Running /boombox without a subcommand prints usage help.

These settings are server-wide and affect all Boom Boxes until changed again.
