Breaking Glass and More - Realistic Glass Destruction in Minecraft

Russian mod review on YouTube

This interesting modification brings an element of realism to gameplay by allowing you to destroy window glass through various methods. Now you can shatter glass surfaces with arrows, accurately throw bricks and flint, while dealing damage to creatures.

Important Note: Impact on Game Balance

The addition of damage dealing may slightly affect game balance. By default, bricks and flint deal 0.5 hearts of damage, however all parameters can be flexibly adjusted through mod configuration.
