Explosion Overhaul: A new level of destruction

Explosion sounds depend on distance and surroundings. A blast close by is loud, while one farther away reaches the player as a muffled echo, with sound pools for close, medium, far and super-far ranges up to 5000 metres. An explosion in a cave echoes, and one heard from inside a house sounds like a distant rumble. Sound also arrives after the flash, so the shockwave follows what the player sees first.

The mod sorts explosions into seven power tiers, so a weak creeper blast and a large TNT detonation do not sound alike. Each explosion is drawn as a fireball that spreads through the space, with plasma sparks and fire clouds. An optional ambient layer adds background blasts, chain reactions and artillery-style shelling. Cloth Config API and GeckoLib are required dependencies and must be installed alongside the mod.

The server and every player need the mod installed. The custom license is not open source. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest NeoForge build for 1.21.1 still marked beta.
