mo bombs
Mo Bombs is a Forge prank mod that turns everyday blocks such as levers, chests, oak doors and buttons into hidden explosive versions.
What it does
Explosive copies of common blocks are added to the game, styled to look like their ordinary counterparts. A chest, lever, door or button can be placed as usual, and it only explodes when a player interacts with it, so the trap stays hidden until someone touches it. The mod is aimed at pranks between friends, such as setting a trap on a secret base or a shared server build.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and both the server and every player need it, because the explosions are handled on both sides. Its files are released under the MIT License. Latest file: 1.0.0, published 2025-02-11. Mo Bombs has no required dependencies beyond Forge itself.
Key features
Explosive blocks
Levers, TNT chests, oak doors and buttons get explosive versions that look like the ordinary blocks.
Trigger on interaction
Each explosive block goes off when a player opens, flips or presses it, rather than on a timer.
Hidden traps
Disguised blocks can be set up among normal items, so an unsuspecting player is caught off guard.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Pranks between friends
A player can disguise explosive chests or doors in a shared base to surprise friends who are not paying attention.
Defending a base
Explosive buttons and doors can be placed at an entrance as a booby trap against intruders on a server.
Who it’s for: Players who want playful traps on a Forge server or single-player world, and server owners who are happy for explosions to happen between friends.
How it compares
Epic TNT Mod, Exaradium and Kaboom are each published for 1.20.1 on Forge and are licensed as All rights reserved, so their code is closed. Redstone Emitters Require Redstone is licensed under the MIT License and only needs the server for 1.20 – 1.20.1, where Mo Bombs runs on both sides.
