Explosive Deaths!

by GeraltDev

Explosive Deaths! makes a player blow up when they die, and the server decides what that costs them in items.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.5 – 26.1.2

What it does

When a player dies, an explosion goes off at the spot, and the player loses items as part of the same event. Only the server has to run the mod; players can join without installing it. Builds cover 1.21.5 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file, released under the MIT License and open source.

Key features

  1. Explosion on death

    A player's death triggers an explosion at the location where they died.

  2. Item loss

    Items the player carries are lost when the explosion happens, so a death has a visible cost.

  3. Data pack option

    The same behavior can also be added to a server through a data pack instead of a mod loader.

How it compares

Full comparison

Explosive Items is a separate mod for 1.21.2 – 26.2 under All rights reserved and is not open source, so its explosions cover a different set of events. Death Locator is licensed under the MIT License, is not open source and supports 1.21.6 – 26.3, and it helps players find where they died rather than exploding there.

What the author says

This datapack makes it so whenever a player dies a primed TNT with instant fuse time spawns on their location of destruction. This can be really fun for custom PVP scenarios with your friends as it fundamentally changes the gameplay. If any bugs occur feel free to report them in the corresponding page.
