Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on shrapnel explosions when I first install the mod?
Shrapnel explosions are enabled by default when you install the mod. Open the in-game configuration menu (check your mod menu or keybinds) to verify that explosion sources like TNT and Creepers are toggled on, then create or load a world to see the effects.
What's the difference between primary shrapnel and secondary debris?
Primary shrapnel is high-speed fragments released directly from the explosion center and deals immediate damage. Secondary debris consists of physical block pieces broken by the blast that travel outward with momentum and can bounce or slow down when hitting obstacles.
Do shrapnel fragments go through all blocks or just some?
Shrapnel punches through thin obstacles like leaves, wooden doors, fences, and glass, but bounces off hard metallic blocks such as iron, copper, and gold. Other blocks will slow down and deflect fragments rather than stop them completely.
Which blocks should I use to protect my base from explosions?
Metal blocks like iron, copper, and gold are most effective because shrapnel bounces off them instead of penetrating. Avoid wood, glass, and leaves as primary defenses since fragments pass through these materials easily.
