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.
Crafting
Boom Boxes are crafted at an Alchemy Bench (Alchemy Bombs category).
| Ingredient | Quantity |

Crafting takes 2 seconds. No special knowledge is required to unlock the recipe.
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.
Examples
/bb fuse 10 — gives you 10 seconds to get clear
/boombox force 15 — large explosion, 15-block radius
These settings are server-wide and affect all Boom Boxes until changed again.
