Block Explosion Damage
by King_Tajin
Block Explosion Damage changes how TNT explosions affect terrain, so blocks can take several blasts before they break.
What it does
Blocks that require multiple TNT hits to break are configurable, and they heal over time when healing speed is set above zero. Explosion resistance can be adjusted by default, scaled by each block's hardness, or set per block through a custom list. A protective block list lets certain blocks stay intact behind an explosion.
The mod is server-side only: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It works with the config system and commands that change TNT balance during play without a restart, and a gamerule controls whether automatic block healing is on. Compatibility with Sable can be enabled in the config, which lets its sub-levels react to explosions like normal blocks.
Block Explosion Damage is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and is published for NeoForge only. Files cover 1.20.6 – 26.3, with 1.2.1 for 26.3 as the latest release.
Key features
Multi-hit blocks
Chosen blocks need several TNT explosions before they break, making cannon and TNT play more deliberate.
Healing over time
Damaged blocks recover at a configurable speed, and a gamerule turns automatic healing on or off.
Per-block resistance
Explosion resistance follows block hardness by default, and a custom list tweaks individual blocks.
Protective blocks
A protective list keeps listed blocks from being destroyed, so structures behind them survive blasts.
