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.
Explosive Cows
Explosive Cows is a Minecraft Fabric mod that lets you set cows on fire… or make them explode! You can toggle world destruction caused by cows with an in-game command, and the settings are saved in a JSON config file.
Features
- Toggle worldDestruction mode for explosive cows using a command.
- Persistent configuration stored in
config/explosivecows.json. - Server-side only (no client-side installation required).
- Easy to extend for additional cow behaviors.
Commands
/explosivecows worldDestruction <true|false>
Enable or disable destructive explosions caused by cows.
Example:
/explosivecows worldDestruction true
Feedback is shown in chat and logged in the server console.
Configuration
The mod stores its settings in a JSON config file:
config/explosivecows.json
Example content:
{
"worldDestruction": true
}
worldDestruction:trueorfalse— controls whether cows cause world destruction.
Changes made via command are saved automatically to the config file.
