Blastwave

Cinematic explosions for Fabric 1.21.1. Explosions get a real blast wave: the sound, the camera shake, the ear ringing and the push all arrive with the wave instead of all at once. Works with vanilla TNT, creepers, and explosions from other mods.

Author: Semechka999. All code, sounds and textures are original (generated by the included script).

Features

• Blast wave: a faint, transparent white sphere expands from the blast; sound, shake and push arrive with it. Strong waves can nudge or knock you back.
• Distance sounds: close and far booms, falling rubble, sand trickling along the wave, a pressure "whump" as it passes you.
• Ear ringing and deafness after a close blast (everything else gets quieter and slowly comes back).
• Camera shake scaled by power and distance.
• Night glow: a warm flash on screen and glowing embers, much stronger in the dark (night, caves).
• Ceiling grit: when you are underground or under a roof, small grey specks and a soft rustle fall from the ceiling.
• Three styles: Cinematic, Realistic (billowing fireball that cools to black smoke, dirt column, flying block fragments) and Light (for weak devices).
• 35 sounds: 7 sound types x 5 variants each. Pick them in the settings and preview with the note button.
• Other mods: explosions from mods that do not use the vanilla explosion class are detected by their sounds and particles (configurable keywords and ids, with optional power per id). Stronger explosions get bigger effects.
• Chain detonation: TNT within a few blocks of an explosion goes off on the next tick. Many explosions close together merge into one bigger, louder effect.
• Glass shatters and redstone lamps flicker near blasts.
• Experimental TNT optimiser (off by default): a big TNT pile detonates in one tick as a few merged explosions instead of hundreds over many seconds.
• In-game settings (Mod Menu or /blastwave settings) in your game language: English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1, Fabric Loader 0.16+, Java 21
• Fabric API
• Optional: Mod Menu (settings button). Compatible with Sodium and Iris (no custom shaders or render replacement).

Install

Put the jar in mods together with Fabric API.

• Client only: all visual and sound effects work on any server, including vanilla ones (they are built from the normal explosion packet; the server sends it to players within about 64 blocks).
• Server or singleplayer: also needed for glass breaking, flickering lamps, chain detonation and the TNT optimiser.

Commands (client)

• /blastwave test <power up to 1000> [distance] - test explosion in front of you (TNT = 4, creeper = 3, charged creeper = 6)
• /blastwave settings - open the settings
• /blastwave debug - show detected mod explosions and unmatched sounds (helps you add ids for a mod)

Config file: config/blastwave.json.

Notes

• The experimental TNT optimiser squeezes the load into one tick. If that spike is too big, lower "Explosions per tick".
• TNT from other mods is not merged by the optimiser (it keeps the normal chain detonation).
• Translations other than English and Russian are machine-made; corrections are welcome.
