Explosion Overhaul
- By
A fully configurable mod increasing the impact and immersion of explosions from TNT plus other explosives with better physics.
A level of destruction to enhance every explosion
Description
Cinematic, physics-enhanced explosions that feel powerful and dynamic
Explosion Overhaul re-imagines Minecraft's vanilla explosion system with immersive visual feedback — perfect for adventure, combat, realism-focused or even tech modpacks.
Features
- Works with every explosion: All vanilla and most modded explosives (such as creepers, TNT, crystals and fireballs) are all supported!
- Physics Based Debris: Explosions launch nearby blocks into the air as falling block entities with randomized speed, arc, and rotation.
- Smoke Trails: Exploded blocks have smoke trailing behind them that disperses into the environment.
- Sparks: TNT now releases sparks before it explodes!
- Fully Serverside: Vanilla clients are supported and get to enjoy all the benefits without even having to install the mod!
- Every Feature is Configurable: Alongside tweaking physics, customize all behavior via a config file or through tags.
Compatibility
Minecraft 1.21.1 Neoforge
(Fabric supported before the rewrite, but is no longer supported)
Recommended Mods
- Vectorientation Reforged: An in-house rewrite of Vectorientation to make launched rotate in the direction they are moving
- Vectorientation: Makes falling blocks rotate in the direction they are moving
- Supplementaries: Throwable bombs work well with the enhanced explosions
