Explosive Villager
by Gvoper
Explosive Villager lets players pick up a villager with the right mouse button and throw it, and the thrown villager explodes on impact with blocks.
What it does
Villagers can be picked up and thrown like projectiles, and a villager that collides with a block explodes. The mod is a Forge addition for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and it is a cursed-category mod in the catalog, so the effect is the entire point. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it installed. The author holds all rights to the code, which is not open source, and the latest file is 3.2 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-04-23.
