Overview

minecraft:explode is an entity component: it goes in the components object of a custom mob, or in one of its component groups. Makes the entity blow up, either right away or after a fuse, like a creeper or TNT. You control the size, fire, block damage and effects.

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
`allow_underwater`	Boolean	`"false"`	Lets the explosion damage blocks and entities underwater.
`breaks_blocks`	Boolean	`"true"`	Whether the explosion destroys blocks.
`causes_fire`	Boolean	`"false"`	Whether the explosion leaves fire behind.
`damage_scaling`	Decimal	`"1.000000"`	Multiplier for damage to entities; 0 deals no damage and negative values heal.
`destroy_affected_by_griefing`	Boolean	`"false"`	If true, the mobGriefing game rule can stop it from breaking blocks.
`fire_affected_by_griefing`	Boolean	`"false"`	If true, the mobGriefing game rule can stop it from starting fires.
`fuse_length`	Range [a, b]	`"[0.0, 0.0]"`	Random time range in seconds before it explodes; a negative value explodes at once.
`fuse_lit`	Boolean	`"false"`	Starts with the fuse already burning when the component is added.
`knockback_scaling`	Decimal	`"1.000000"`	Multiplier for how hard the blast pushes entities away.
`max_resistance`	Decimal	`"3.40282e+38"`	Caps how much blast resistance a block can have, so stronger blocks can still break.
`negates_fall_damage`	Boolean	`"false"`	Cancels fall damage for players launched upward by the blast.
`particle_effect`	String	`"explosion"`	Particles shown: "explosion", "wind_burst" or "breeze_wind_burst".
`power`	Decimal	`"3"`	Blast size in blocks, which also sets how much damage it does.
`sound_effect`	String	`"explode"`	Sound played when it explodes.
`toggles_blocks`	Boolean	`"false"`	Flips blocks like doors, levers and trapdoors in the blast area instead of breaking them.
