Create a multi-stage controlled demolition

Planning your demolition

For large structures, you can chain multiple explosives to detonate in sequence. Each explosive can have different width, height, and depth settings, letting you control which parts of a structure fall in which order.

Wiring the sequence

Place your first explosive and configure its blast radius. Connect it to a redstone button or lever. Place your second explosive nearby and configure it separately, then connect it to a redstone repeater set to a delay, which connects to the first explosive's redstone line.

This creates a cascade: when you activate the button, the first explosive detonates after its timer, then the repeater delay passes, triggering the second explosive.

Testing and refinement

Always test with a small structure first. Use the red preview rectangles to ensure each explosive's blast radius doesn't overlap unexpectedly or miss critical support blocks. Adjust repeater delays and blast dimensions until the demolition proceeds as intended.
