About this Mod
Summary
Explosion Overhaul is a simple Server Side mod that enhances explosions, giving them more knockback, working behind walls if the wall is destroyed and a few other features.
This mod is fully server-side.
The mod
Explosion Overhaul makes explosions actually give knockback, unlike vanilla where you get more knockback by getting hit by a zombie.
Also if the explosion now damages entities behind walls if the wall is destroyed.
Explosions will also apply effects from the exploder (so a Creeper with slowness will also apply slowness to hit entities).
And last but not least: poof particles like old Minecraft!
There's also an experimental feature that makes blocks go flying instead of being broken.
Many config options are present, check the config file!
This mod was part of Insane's Survival Overhaul up to 1.20.1.
