Explosion Overhaul a New Level of Destruction Mod (1.20.1) – Changes How TNT And Creepers Blow Up








Explosion Overhaul a New Level of Destruction Mod changes how TNT and creepers blow up in your world. It replaces normal smoke with giant fireballs, flying sparks, and thick dust. You hear blasts differently if you stand far away or hide inside a cave. You even see the bright flash before you hear the loud boom. The shockwave shakes your screen and breaks glass windows nearby. If you blow things up underground, dirt and rocks fall from the ceiling. This mod makes fighting mobs or playing with explosives much more dangerous.

Features:
Sound Changes:
- Changes sounds based on distance, so a nearby blast is super loud while a faraway one is just a quiet rumble.
- Makes caves echo loudly, while hiding inside a house blocks most of the noise from outside.
- Shows the bright flash of light before you hear the boom, just like in real life.
- Adds background battle noises if you want to hear distant drops and explosions while you play.
New Visuals:
- Replaces normal smoke blocks with giant, glowing fire clouds that slowly cool down into thick mist.
- Shoots bright electrical sparks and flying debris out from the center of the blast.
- Flashes your screen with bright light depending on how big the bomb is.
World Impact:
- Shakes your camera hard when you stand close to the shockwave.
- Makes dirt, rocks, and dripstone fall from the ceiling if a bomb goes off underground.
- Breaks weak blocks like glass windows and causes redstone lamps to flicker and spark nearby.
- Pushes your character back and rings your ears if you get caught in the blast zone.
- Merges TNT blocks that blow up at the same time into one massive crater.
