SmartEX

SmartEX Update: v.2.0.0 (The VFX Update) This update completely overhauls the visual perception of explosions and introduces new tactical possibilities for using gunpowder.

1. "Smart Wick" System (Gunpowder Trails 2.0) Vertical Detonation: Gunpowder trails can now transmit flames upward and downward. Fire seamlessly travels over stairs and one-block height differences.

Physics Overhaul: The gunpowder trail block is now perfectly flat (1 pixel). It no longer obstructs player movement and visually blends with the surface.

Directional Placement: Trails are placed strictly according to the player's line of sight, allowing for precise and clean detonation lines.

2. Enhanced Destruction Mechanics Realistic Fire: Explosions no longer just destroy blocks; they ignite flammable materials (wood, leaves, wool) within the blast radius.

Chain Reaction: Reworked TNT interaction code — signals are transmitted instantly without delays, even in complex, branched circuits.

3. Visual and Sound Effects (VFX Engine) Shell Shock Effect: Players near the epicenter of an explosion will experience temporary stunning, accompanied by ear ringing (tinnitus) and disorientation.

Motion Blur: Added dynamic focus. Powerful shockwaves cause brief screen blurring to simulate a state of shock.

Physical Knockback: Explosions now feature vector-based force — players and mobs are pushed away from the center of the blast, calculating obstacles in their path.

4. Technical Fixes Texture Optimization: Fixed block invisibility issues occurring on certain Forge versions.

Full Localization: Professional translations for Russian and English have been added, including item tooltips.

Version Support: The mod is optimized for Minecraft 1.20.1 and is ready for the transition to 1.21.
