What it does

When two players come within a set social distance, the mod triggers an instant explosion. Players do not need to share a block position for the blast to be avoided, since keeping apart is the only way to stay safe. The mod is built as a datapack-style chaotic multiplayer effect and suits servers that want a party or prank setting.

Key features

  1. Proximity explosions

    Moving within social distance of another player triggers an immediate explosion, without any item or command.

  2. Keeping distance

    Players who stay out of each other's space are not hit, so the rule is avoided by staying apart.

  3. Chaotic multiplayer play

    The effect works between players on a server, turning ordinary movement into a chaotic game.

What the author says

players explode is when players explode. basically you have to social distance. don't occupy the same block and you won't explode. This was a very quick and dirty datapack (like all of mine are), and literally all it does is make you explode if you get to close to another player.
