Adjust Explosion Settings for Your Playstyle

Access the Configuration Menu

The mod includes an in-game settings menu that lets you customize how explosions behave without editing config files. Open this menu from your mod options or settings screen to see all available adjustments.

Key Settings to Customize

Primary Shrapnel: Control the damage dealt by high-speed shards released directly from blast centers. Reducing this makes explosions less lethal but still dangerous. Increasing it raises the threat level significantly.

Particle Collision Range: Adjust how far shrapnel travels before losing momentum. A smaller range means debris falls to the ground quickly; a larger range creates longer-lasting hazards across your terrain.

Debris Properties: Fine-tune how secondary projectiles (broken blocks) behave—their speed, bounce height, and damage output. This affects how destructive block fragmentation becomes.

Explosion Sources: Enable or disable shrapnel effects for specific triggers like TNT, Creepers, Beds, or Respawn Anchors. You can make some explosions safe while keeping others dangerous.

Save and Test

After adjusting settings, test them with a small controlled explosion to confirm the new behavior matches your preference.
