Explosive Chickens 2: Revenge of the Fowl
This mod requires Fabric API

This mod is the official remake of the Explosive Chickens mod I made back in 2013. I wanted to bring this mod back to life and extend it, with a focus on making the mod more survival-friendly and add some more options for PvP combat.

- Armor causes an explosion upon your death, adding a chance for a sweet revenge in PvP battles
