Ever wanted to scare your players and turn every animal into a pseudo-creeper? Now, you can!

ExplodingAnimals is a fun, extremely lightweight plugin that results in a very different action occurring when an animal dies - with explosive results! You can choose exactly how explosive you want the animals to be (higher values not recommended, especially on larger servers), and exactly which animals you'd like to self-destruct. Watch with amusement as the duck your friend just killed created an explosion the size of a stack on TNT. Get ExplodingAnimals today!
