Create Different Explosion Sizes for Different Projectiles

Configure Blast Radius Per Projectile Type

Access the projectile configuration section. You should see separate entries for arrows, snowballs, eggs, and other throwable items. Each one has its own blast radius setting.

Set arrows to a larger radius since they're harder to aim, snowballs to a smaller radius since they're easier to spam, and eggs to something in between. This creates natural balance without needing to restrict who can use what.

Adjust for Your Server's Playstyle

If your server favors intense PvP, increase all radii slightly. If you're running a more casual server, keep them small so explosions feel like a fun bonus rather than a dominant strategy.

Disable Fire Spread (Recommended)

Turn off the "explosions cause fire" option unless you specifically want that chaos. This prevents accidental forest fires and keeps cleanup minimal.

Test Each Type

Throw or shoot each projectile type in a test area and watch the blast radius. Make sure snowballs don't outrange arrows, and that eggs feel appropriately weaker. Tweak the numbers until the balance feels right for your community.
