DOES NOT WORK WITH OPTIFINE, USE OCOLUS + EMBEDDIUM

This mod completely rethinks explosions in Minecraft, making them incredibly realistic and dynamic. Enjoy unique explosion sounds that change depending on the distance and environment, tangible shockwaves and concussions, as well as realistic visual effects, including plasma sparks and fire clouds. Experience the true destructive power of explosions like never before!

Disclaimer

The Explosion Overhaul mod contains intense explosion sound effects that can be quite loud and realistic. These sounds may startle or cause panic in some users and may be unpleasant for sensitive hearing. Please use the mod with caution, especially in environments where loud noises may cause discomfort or unwanted reactions.

Functionality as of 0.1.3.3 alpha:

Dynamic Sound

• The sound of an explosion now depends on the distance: from a deafening roar up close to a distant, muffled echo, up to 5 kilometers!
• The environment matters! An explosion in a cave will echo loudly, while if you are inside a house, you will only hear a muffled rumble from outside.
• Power matters! A weak creeper explosion and the detonation of a huge amount of TNT will sound completely different.
• Sound travels at a realistic speed, so you will first see the flash, and only then will the sound wave reach you.

Visual Effects

• Forget about standard puffs of smoke! Now every explosion is a spectacular, dynamically expanding fireball that fills the space.
• Bright sparks fly from the epicenter, and the fireball itself gradually cools, turning into thick smoke.

Tangible Impact on the World

• Camera Shake: Feel the shockwave! The screen will shake from powerful explosions, and the effect is stronger if you are in an enclosed space.
• Cave-ins: Powerful underground explosions will cause the ceiling to tremble, throwing down dust and rocks.
• Power Surges: The shockwave can temporarily disrupt the power grid. Nearby Redstone lamps will begin to flicker and spark unpredictably.
• New Destruction: Explosion craters now look more realistic, with scattered debris and displaced earth around the crater's edges.

Explosion Overhaul is designed to work with most popular military mods "out of the box." Here's the current status of deeper integration and testing:

Mod Compatibility Status

• ✅ TaCZ (100%): Full integration. All explosions from weapons and vehicles use our mod's system.

• 👍 SuperB Warfare (99%): Near-perfect compatibility. The vast majority of explosions are handled by the mod.

• 👍 Big Cannons (99%): Partial compatibility. Basic projectile explosions are supported, but more complex types might use vanilla mechanics.

• 🟠 Warrium (40%): Partial compatibility. Some explosions are handled. BUT DON'T EXPLODE THE ATOMIC BOMB

Superb Warfare (AshVehicle addon): 

Create (Create Big Cannons addon): 

This list will be updated. If you notice that explosions from a particular mod aren't using Explosion Overhaul effects, please let us know!

Frequent Game Crash Causes

WARNING! Explosions >50 power may be unstable, please take this into account

If you are experiencing crashes or issues launching the game, please check the following:

• Incorrect Forge Version. Make sure you are using Forge version 47.4.0. Other versions may be incompatible and cause crashes.
• Using OptiFine. Instead of OptiFine, we recommend using Oculus + Embeddium. OptiFine often conflicts with other mods, whereas Oculus and Embeddium provide better compatibility and performance.
• Incompatibility with Other Mods. If you are adding other mods, check them for compatibility. Some mods can conflict with each other, leading to crashes. Try running the game without additional mods to identify the source of the problem.
