Fake Explosion Lib

by Bowswa

Fake Explosion Lib is a library by Bowswa that lets other mods and data packs trigger configurable fake explosion effects without real block damage.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.20 – 1.21.4

What it does

The library provides a function that summons an explosion-style effect at a position, and the effect can be tuned to the look a mod or pack needs. Lightning-based effects can cause issues in some cases, so the author notes it as a known limitation. The project was first published on 2024-04-08 and last updated on 2024-12-12.

Installation is server-side: the server needs the library, and clients may leave it out. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, covering 1.20 – 1.21.4. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Configurable fake explosions

    Explosion-style effects can be customized in appearance and behavior, so it does not need to match vanilla explosions.

  2. Summon effect function

    A function triggers the effect at a chosen place, and the calling mod or pack must supply the trigger.

  3. Data pack support

    Besides the mod loaders, the library is also offered as a data pack for servers that use one.
