Horses smoke when damaged based on health, then explode dramatically. Inspired by how cars behave in GTA.

Description

GTA Horse Logic

Make Minecraft horses more interesting. Your horses will give warnings when low on health, but if you let them die, they might take you with them in a fiery explosion.


Gamerule Support
Enable or disable features to suit your needs:

  • /gamerule OnlyTamedHorsesExplode [true/false] → When enabled (default), only player-tamed horses will explode.
  • /gamerule HorseExplosionGriefing [true/false] → Controls whether explosions damage blocks and create fire.

(For 1.21.11+):

  • /gamerule gta_horse_logic:only_tamed_horses_explode [true/false]
  • /gamerule gta_horse_logic:horse_explosion_griefing [true/false]

Horse Behavior
Horses now behave more dramatically:

  • 50% Health: Horses emit white puff smoke particles, signaling that they are taking serious damage.
    Horse at 1/2 health.

  • 25% Health: Smoke transitions to dark campfire smoke, warning of a critical condition.
    Horse at 1/4 health.

  • 0% Health: The horse catches fire and enters a 10-second countdown to an explosion.
    Horse at 0 health.


Owner Notification
Tamed horses send a message to their owner when they explode:

  • Sends a notification when a tamed horse explodes.
  • Uses the horse’s custom name if it has one.
