AllMobsExplode
Turn ordinary Minecraft mobs into walking explosives!
When an eligible mob approaches a player, it primes like a creeper and explodes after a configurable delay. AllMobsExplode also includes optional ranked Ender Dragon speedruns with live timers and local leaderboards.
Features
- Nearby mobs automatically prime and explode
- Configurable activation radius, fuse time, explosion power, fire, and block damage
- Optional line-of-sight requirement
- Enable or disable explosions without restarting
- Manage excluded mobs using in-game commands
- Make normally safe entities—including arrows, boats, and minecarts—explode
- Preserve normal mob drops, death events, and player kill credit
- Creepers and Ender Dragons remain permanently excluded
- Optimized entity scanning with configurable detonation limits
- Command suggestions and automatically saved settings
- No client-side installation or dependencies required

Optional Ranked Speedruns

A ranked run begins with /ame run start and finishes when the player defeats the Ender Dragon.

/ame run start |
Starts a ranked run |
/ame run reset |

Ranked runs require:
- Survival mode
- A non-Peaceful difficulty
- A fresh, unused world
- No operator or administrative powers
- Only one player online
- Explosions and speedruns enabled
Starting a run clears the player's inventory, armor, Ender Chest, experience, effects, and previous survival progress.
A run is invalidated by administrative assistance, Creative or Spectator mode, relevant configuration changes, gameplay-changing commands, reused worlds, or another player joining.
Completion records include the player, completion time, seed, difficulty, Minecraft version, server platform, explosion settings, and completion date. Records are signed and tamper-evident.
Operators can manage speedruns using:
/ame speedrun
/ame speedrun status
/ame speedrun toggle
Operators must de-op before participating in a ranked run.
Fabric and Quilt
A separate Fabric/Quilt edition for Minecraft 26.2 is available through the AllMobsExplode mod listing.
