ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.7

What it does

When a mob dies, it detonates instead of dropping quietly, and the mod keeps its drops intact so loot still appears after the blast. Watching a mob explode is the mod's main effect, and the mod suits joke worlds, showcase videos and chaotic group play. Both the server and every player need it, since the explosions are part of the shared game state.

Key features

  1. Explosive mob deaths

    Mobs detonate when they are killed rather than ending in silence.

  2. Intact drops

    Items a mob would normally drop still appear after the explosion.

  3. Showcase-friendly

    The effect is built around watchable death scenes for videos and streams.
