ExplosionLib

ExplosionLib is a server-side library mod that provides a custom explosion simulation, designed to make large explosions look more realistic. It offers configurable options for:

• Generating fire in the crater.
• Placing netherrack under some fire for persistence.
• Forcing fire generation in certain explosions (like beds or ghast fireballs).
• Spawning debris that flies outward from the crater.

The mod is fully compatible with singleplayer and includes a config to disable fire, persistent fire, and debris. ExplosionLib can replace vanilla explosions with the custom simulation if enabled in the config.

Developers can integrate ExplosionLib by adding it as a dependency via Cursemaven in their build.gradle, then using the ExplosionHandler.explode() method:

ExplosionHandler.explode(new ExplosionContext(
       ExplosionContext.SimulationType.POLYHEDRAL,
       level,
       pos,
       power,
       fire,
       forceFire,
       persistentFire,
       debris,
       source
));

• SimulationType can be POLYHEDRAL for the custom explosion or VANILLA to use the default Minecraft explosion behavior.
• For vanilla explosions, forceFire determines whether fire is generated, ensuring that some effects (like beds or ghast fireballs) always spawn fire, regardless of the config.

This allows you to use a single method for both vanilla and custom explosions, giving you flexibility and visual fidelity for large-scale effects.
