What's new

## Better Explosion Overhaul v1.0.1

 

### Added

- **Camera shake**: the screen shakes when an explosion happens nearby, stronger when you are closer.

- **New particles**: fresh smoke, fire, glow, debris and dust particles for more detailed explosions.

- **New textures**: reworked explosion, flash and smoke textures.

- **New visual effects (VFX)**: a bright light flash and embers around the blast.

- **Wide light flash**: the blast briefly lights up the surrounding area and fades out smoothly.

- **Distance-based explosion sounds**: explosions sound different depending on whether you are close, mid-range or far away, with smooth crossfading between the layers.

- **Flying blocks**: destroyed blocks are thrown into the air as real, spinning chunks made of several blocks.

- **Scorched crater**: the area around the explosion becomes scorched.

- **Real shockwave**: explosions push nearby entities away.

- **Screen blur**: a hazy overlay appears when you are close to a blast.

- **Explosion Settings item**: craft it with gunpowder + redstone (new players also receive one on first join) to turn effects on or off and adjust their values in-game.

- **Particle quality option**: choose Full, Lite or Mini particles to match your device's performance.

- **Adjustable settings**: shockwave force, max flying blocks, max blocks per chunk, throw power, air drag, how long chunks stay after landing, and explosion sound volume.

- **Settle option**: landed chunks can optionally turn back into real blocks.

 

### Changed

- Vanilla explosion sounds were replaced by the new layered explosion sounds.

- Settings are saved per world and stay after restarting the game.

 

### Notes

- **No experimental features required**: the addon works without enabling any experimental toggles.

- **Achievement friendly**: this addon doesn't disable achievements.

- Requires Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.20 or newer.

- Make sure both the Behavior Pack and the Resource Pack are enabled for the world.
