## What does it do?
\n– The GIF Explosions mod renders the iconic explosion GIF and sound at the position of any player or mob when they die.<\/p>\n
## Does it work in _Multiplayer_?

\n– ### However, it does partially rely on standard vanilla packets sent from the server (like entity updates).<\/p>\n
## GIF Explosions Mod + Server Anti-Cheats?<\/p>\n – This mod is fully client-side and does not send any packets to the server. It won\u2019t get you banned unless the mod itself is blacklisted.<\/p>\n **1.** The mod\u2019s functionality could break on certain servers if anti-cheat systems spoof both the health and death state of entities. This can delay or hide entity deaths from the client, which would prevent the effect from triggering. **2.** The mod has been tested on some popular servers and did in fact work.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Renders a GIF explosion upon entity death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":75697,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"gif-explosions!","_minecraft_project_id":"MyuaPlM7","_minecraft_author":"ChocofushEagler","_minecraft_license":"CC-BY-NC-4.0","_minecraft_downloads":259,"_minecraft_follows":7,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"gif-explosions!.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":365290,"_minecraft_version_count":2,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T20:35:59.670254Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-04-13T03:54:04.498725Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-04-08T11:06:52.295624Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/gif-explosions!","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":75697,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-04T09:13:26+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"ff122782968923fd82d5198682d9046c","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[43,156,104,89],"mod_loader":[106],"minecraft_version":[31],"class_list":["post-75696","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-cursed","mod_category-decoration","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_loader-forge","minecraft_version-1-8-9"],"yoast_head":"\nSpoiler<\/summary>\n
