All-Mobs-Explode

AllMobsExplode

Turn ordinary Minecraft mobs into walking explosives!

When an eligible mob approaches a player, it primes like a creeper and explodes after a configurable delay. The project also includes optional ranked Ender Dragon speedruns with live timers and local leaderboards.

Features

• Nearby mobs automatically prime and explode
• Configurable activation radius, fuse time, explosion power, fire, and block damage
• Optional line-of-sight requirement
• Add or remove mob exclusions in-game
• Make normally safe entities—including arrows, boats, and minecarts—explode
• Start or stop explosions without restarting
• Preserves normal mob drops, death events, and player kill credit
• Creepers and Ender Dragons remain permanently excluded
• Optimized entity scanning with configurable detonation limits
• Full command suggestions and automatic configuration saving
• No client-side installation required for multiplayer

Downloads

Choose the file matching your server:

• Modern Paper/Purpur/Spigot: Minecraft 26.1–26.2
• Legacy Paper/Purpur/Spigot: Minecraft 1.8.8–1.21.11
• Fabric/Quilt: Minecraft 26.2

The Fabric/Quilt edition requires Fabric API. It can run server-side without players installing the mod. Client installation is optional and adds the custom top-right speedrun timer.

Optional Ranked Speedruns

Speedruns are completely optional. Nobody is timed unless they deliberately start a ranked run.

A run begins with /ame run start and finishes when the player defeats the Ender Dragon.

Command	Description
/ame run start	Starts a ranked run
/ame run reset	Abandons the current run
/ame time	Displays the current time or personal best
/ame leaderboard	Displays the fastest local completions

Ranked runs require:

• Survival mode
• A non-Peaceful difficulty
• A fresh, unused world
• No operator or administrative powers
• Only one player online
• Explosions and speedruns enabled

Starting a run clears the player's inventory, armor, Ender Chest, XP, effects, and previous survival progress.

Runs are invalidated by administrative assistance, Creative or Spectator mode, relevant configuration changes, reused worlds, gameplay-changing commands, or another player joining.

Completion records include the player, time, seed, difficulty, Minecraft version, server platform, explosion settings, and completion date. Leaderboard records are signed and tamper-evident.

Operators can manage speedruns with:

/ame speedrun
/ame speedrun status
/ame speedrun toggle

An operator must de-op before participating in a ranked run.
