Players Explode
Players Explode is a chaotic multiplayer mod where getting too close to another player triggers an immediate explosion.
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.
players explode is when players explode. basically you have to social distance. don't occupy the same block and you won't explode.
This was a very quick and dirty datapack (like all of mine are), and literally all it does is make you explode if you get to close to another player.
