Frequently asked questions

How do I start using this mod after installing it?
The mod works automatically once installed—all vanilla explosions will immediately have enhanced effects. If you want to customize how explosions look and behave, open the config/explosion-overhaul.json file and adjust settings like debris amount, camera shake strength, or the ear-ringing sound.
Why is my game lagging when explosions happen?
Physics-based debris and camera shake effects can impact performance, especially on lower-end systems. Try reducing the debris spawn chance and debris speed in your config file, or lower the camera shake radius to improve frame rates.
Can I turn off just the ear-ringing sound?
Yes, open config/explosion-overhaul.json and find the ear-ringing sound setting, then set it to disabled. You'll keep all other explosion effects like debris and camera shake.
Does this mod work with explosions from other mods?
The mod works with most explosions from other mods, but compatibility depends on how those mods handle their blast systems. If a specific mod's explosions don't get enhanced effects, check the mod's documentation or try enabling debug logs to see what's happening.
