Explosive Deaths
by deinomodder
Explosive Deaths makes mobs explode when they die, and players are not affected by the effect.
What it does
Mobs that die in the game explode, so a death can cause a blast nearby. The effect applies to mobs only, and players are excluded from the explosion. A chicken struck by a sword can leave a blast behind that turns peaceful mobs hostile in the area. Meadows and mob farms can become explosive hazards. The mod runs on the server, so players join without installing it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which is not open source. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge across six game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.5.
