🧨 ExplosionGlass — Make glass fragile again!
ExplosionGlass is a lightweight Minecraft Forge mod for 1.12.2 that makes glass blocks behave more realistically during explosions. Nearby blasts will shatter glass, including panes and stained types — just like in real life!
It’s fully configurable, localized, and works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
🔧 Features
- 💥 Breaks glass during explosions (TNT, creepers, etc.)
- 📏 Customizable radius of glass breaking
