Explosive Deaths!
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This datapack makes it so whenever a player dies a primed TNT with instant fuse time spawns on their location of destruction. This can be really fun for custom PVP scenarios with your friends as it fundamentally changes the gameplay. If any bugs occur feel free to report them in the corresponding page.
-NOTE: you will LOSE all your items.
