More Explosions
by thecarrs96
More Explosions adds new ways to set off explosions in Minecraft, driven by a realistic energy system that replaces the vanilla trigger logic.
What it does
The mod lets players create explosions through new methods, and each trigger draws on an energy model rather than a simple fuse or redstone signal. Explosives such as TooMuchTNT can deal more damage to entities and to the environment than vanilla TNT. Because the explosions are handled by the mod's own physics, they do not depend on the built-in explosion system that Minecraft uses for block and entity damage.
The mod is available for Forge and NeoForge in the 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 range, and it is needed on both sides: the server and every player must run it. The author notes that the mod's internal physics avoids the lag and freezes that custom explosion code often causes. The author also says that the visual explosion effect is still the vanilla one, because Minecraft's particle triggering cannot be changed by the mod.
Key features
New explosion triggers
Explosions can be started through new methods that the mod adds, separate from ordinary TNT ignition.
Energy-based triggering
Each trigger uses a realistic energy system to decide when and how strongly an explosion occurs.
Stronger explosives
Explosives such as TooMuchTNT cause more damage to certain things and to the environment.
Own physics instead of vanilla logic
Explosion damage runs on the mod's internal physics, not on Minecraft's built-in explosion code, which the author states avoids lag.

How it compares
Old TNT Particles is a client-side option for Forge and NeoForge, released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and covering 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, and it changes only the look of TNT rather than the damage. ExplosionGlass is a client-and-server mod for Forge and NeoForge, released under a custom license and covering 1.12.2 – 1.21.1, which focuses on how explosions break glass rather than on new triggers.
