Explosive Sulfur Cubes
by Nord_Act
Explosive Sulfur Cubes makes Sulfur Cubes detonate when they make contact with something at a set speed, with the blast power adjustable in a config file.
What it does
A Sulfur Cube explodes once it strikes a surface or another entity while moving faster than a chosen minimum speed. Slower contact produces no blast, so cubes can still be moved around without setting off explosions. The explosion itself scales with how fast the cube was moving at impact, between a configured minimum power and a configured maximum power.
The behavior is controlled by a config file called explosive-sulfur-cubes.json, created in the config folder on first launch. Server owners can set the trigger velocity, the minimum explosion power and the maximum explosion power there. The mod runs on Fabric, is published for 26.2 and 26.3 as game versions, and is released under the MIT License as open source. Snapshot builds are included, and the latest Fabric file is 1.2.0 for 26.3, dated 2026-09-15.
Client and server means both the server and every player need the mod, so the blast behaves the same for everyone in a session. Source code and the issue tracker are public.
Key features
Velocity-triggered explosions
A Sulfur Cube detonates on contact only when it moves above the configured speed, so resting or gently pushed cubes stay safe.
Adjustable blast power
Explosion strength is set by the cube's speed at impact, bounded by a minimum and a maximum power value.
Config file options
The explosive-sulfur-cubes.json file in the config folder holds the trigger speed and both power limits.
Contact-based detonation
The blast occurs on any contact that meets the speed requirement, including surfaces, entities and other cubes.
