Shrapnel Explosions

ShrapnelExplosions V2.0: The Lethal Environment Update – Out Now!

Description

Now, when an explosion occurs, each block can shatter into fragments with their own physical properties. They can deal damage, penetrate thin obstacles, and ricochet off metal objects. The fragments expend their kinetic energy with each collision, slowing them down and changing their trajectory.

Explosions generate two distinct layers of destruction, making every blast feel chaotic and realistic:

• Primary Shrapnel (Initial Blast): These are the high-velocity shards spawned directly from the explosion itself. They represent the casing and core energy of the blast, flying out instantly to pepper the surrounding area.
• Secondary Debris (Environmental): These projectiles are spawned from the actual blocks destroyed by the explosion. If a blast rips through a house, the house itself becomes the shrapnel. A stone wall produces heavy, lethal chunks, while glass windows shatter into a cloud of fast, jagged splinters.

REQUIRES: Cloth Config API

For best performance: AsyncParticles, Flerovium
