Epic Explosives
by AgustinJ879
Epic Explosives adds C4 charges and several kinds of explosive mines to Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and includes a Defuse Kit that deactivates them.
What it does
Players place C4 charges and explosive devices that detonate on their own timers or when triggered. The C4 timer can be customized, and countdown messages are shown only to the player who activated the charge. Device types include variants that act like a normal explosion, a fake, a wither effect, a poison effect and a jumping device that launches the player upward. Activated C4s can be defused with the Defuse Kit, which disables one charge at a time.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it for the explosives to work across a multiplayer session. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering game versions 1.19.2 – 1.21.8 and the latest files for 1.20.6, 1.20.1 and 1.21.8. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Translations exist for Spanish (Mexico, Argentina and Uruguay), Spanish (Spain) and Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal).
Key features
C4 charges
Placeable C4 charges that the player can set off after a delay, with a timer the author describes as customizable.
Explosive device types
Devices that come in normal, fake, wither, poisonous and jumping variants, each with a different effect on nearby entities.
Defuse Kit
An item that deactivates a C4 charge; the fix in the author notes says it no longer defuses random charges belonging to other players.
Private countdowns
Countdown messages appear only for the player who activated the charge, not for everyone nearby.

What the author says
Simple mod that adds C4s and explosive mines (normal, fake, wither, poisonous & more!) Warning: Setting the explosion radius above 15 may result in significant FPS loss or game crashes. Have fun!;)
