Enhances destructive capabilities of explosions.<\/p>\n<p>* **Screen Shake:**<br \/>\n  Players near an explosion experience configurable camera shake based on blast power and distance.<\/p>\n<p>* **Ear-Ringing Effect:**<br \/>\n  An ambient ringing sound plays when standing close to large explosions, enhancing the feeling of impact. Defaults to off, can cause discomfort especially at high volumes.<\/p>\n<p>* **Every Feature is Configurable:**<br \/>\n  Customize behavior via `config\/explosion-overhaul.json`, including:<\/p>\n<p>    * Debris count, velocity ranges, and spawn chance<br \/>\n    * Shake strength, radius, and duration<br \/>\n    * Sound toggle<br \/>\n    * Debug logging<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>### \ud83d\udd27 Compatibility<\/p>\n<p>* \u2705 **Minecraft 1.21.1**<br \/>\n* \u2705 Fabric &#038; Neoforge (via Architectury)<br \/>\n* \u2705 Works with most mods unless they fully override explosion logic<\/p>\n<p>#### Recommended Mods<\/p>\n<p>* Vectorientation Reforged: An in-house rewrite of Vectorientation to make launched rotate in the direction they are moving<br \/>\n* Vectorientation: Makes falling blocks rotate in the direction they are moving<br \/>\n* Supplementaries: Throwable bombs work well with the enhanced explosions<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>### \ud83d\udcdc Legal<\/p>\n<p>#### License<\/p>\n<p>Apache License 2.0 \u2014 open source and ready for use in any project.<br \/>\nView Source on GitHub<\/p>\n<p>#### Credits<\/p>\n<p>Iris, Rethinking Voxels and Vectorientation were used in the creation of some screenshots\/promotional material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fully configurable mod increasing the impact and immersion of explosions from TNT plus other explosives with better physics and sound effects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":66986,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"explosionoverhaul","_minecraft_project_id":"SAez8T3s","_minecraft_author":"LuckyMcDev","_minecraft_license":"Apache-2.0","_minecraft_downloads":63940,"_minecraft_follows":106,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"optional","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"explosionoverhaul.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1131257,"_minecraft_version_count":7,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T04:08:44.830720Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-07-21T15:14:01.896933Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-07-29T13:48:11.096252Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/explosionoverhaul","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":66986,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-03T20:02:50+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"a09c5868b92d522e7544a754a8cb3a11","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[88,97,89,158,98],"mod_loader":[99,160,100],"minecraft_version":[37],"class_list":["post-66985","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-equipment","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-quilt","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-neoforge","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-21-1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
