Understanding Explosions

How Explosions Work

This mod transforms standard TNT detonations into dramatic artillery-style events. When TNT explodes, you'll see a billowing smoke cloud that rises and spreads realistically across the sky. A visible shockwave expands outward from the blast center, and your camera shakes smoothly based on how close you are to the explosion.

The blast audio arrives with a delay, simulating how sound travels—the visual explosion happens first, then the loud boom reaches you moments later. Nearby TNT blocks ignite automatically, creating rapid chain reactions across multiple detonations.

Terrain destruction uses energy-transfer physics to carve natural-looking craters rather than simple cubic holes. All effects are client-side, making this mod compatible with mini-games and legacy versions.
