Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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 mod gives players an exploding animation on death.

Example

The exploding animation is from ExplodeOnDie. The camera effects are from Cinematic Respawn.

Requires Fabric API when using Fabric or Quilt.

This mod is all done on the client; this will work perfectly fine on servers like Hypixel. Additionally, no blocks will be destroyed, it is just an animation.

Also, armor is shown on the body parts that explode.

Hypixel Example

A player explodes on Hypixel.
