  • Notifies console with download link

Fixed

• Explosion Visual Bug - Explosions now properly display when block damage is disabled
  • Removed setYield(0f) call that was preventing explosion visual effects
  • Block damage can be disabled while still showing explosion particles/effects
  • Knockback and entity damage work correctly even with block damage off
• Knockback System Completely Rewritten - All knockback config options now work properly
  • CRITICAL FIX: Knockback now actually triggers! Was completely non-functional due to entity detection issue
  • Moved knockback application to EntityExplodeEvent where fireballs are reliably detected
  • enabled: false now actually disables knockback (restores pre-explosion velocity)
  • enabled: true applies custom knockback that overrides vanilla behavior
  • strength setting now properly controls knockback power (0.5 = weak, 2.0 = strong)
  • vertical: false now correctly applies horizontal-only knockback
  • vertical: true adds upward component for dramatic effect
  • radius properly limits knockback range with distance falloff
  • Fixed issue where config changes had no visible effect
  • Fixed excessive knockback when player is moving
  • Knockback now consistent regardless of player momentum or movement
  • Improved debug logging shows all calculations (distance, falloff, vectors)
  • Debug messages now appear in console showing knockback is being applied

Changed

• Reorganized config structure: knockback settings now nested under damage: section
• Knockback radius option added - Configure how far from explosion entities are affected (default: 5.0 blocks)
