Creepers, TNT, and fire can leave your world scarred with craters and scattered items. Explosion't is a Forge mod for Minecraft that undoes that damage by regenerating every block an explosion or fire removes, after a delay and speed you control. The explosion still happens and the danger is still real, but the landscape puts itself back together.

How Explosion't Rebuilds Destroyed Blocks

When a creeper detonates or TNT tears through a build, Explosion't captures each removed block and queues it for restoration. The blocks drop nothing, so no loose items clutter the crater, and they reappear one by one at the speed you set in the config. You keep the thrill of a real explosion without spending the next hour filling in dirt.

The same logic covers fire. Blocks burned away by flames get the same rebuild treatment, so a stray lava flow or a lightning strike on your roof no longer leaves a permanent scar. Fire support relies on MixinBootstrap, so install that alongside the mod if you want fire healing.

Tuning Heal Speed, Scaling, and the Morning Option

Every world is different, so the timing is fully configurable. You set the delay before healing starts and the speed at which blocks return. For large blasts the mod automatically speeds up healing every 1,000 blocks past the first 1,000, so a big TNT chain does not take ages to clean up. If you prefer explosions to heal on a fixed schedule, turn scaling off and let the delay run as written.

There is also a morning-only mode. Instead of watching blocks pop back in while you explore, the mod waits until sunrise and repairs everything overnight. It is a calmer option for players who want the chaos contained but the cleanup out of sight.

Chests, Inventories, and the /forceAllHeal Command

Losing a chest full of loot to a stray creeper is the worst part of vanilla explosions. Explosion't treats inventories like any other block. Chests, barrels, and other containers drop nothing when destroyed and rebuild with their contents intact, so a bad detonation no longer erases hours of mining.

When you do not want to wait at all, run /forceAllHeal in chat. It instantly heals every loaded damaged block, which is handy right after a big TNT experiment or a creeper raid on your base.

Installing Explosion't on Forge

Explosion't runs on Forge. Install Forge first, then drop the downloaded JAR into your mods folder and launch the game. If you want fire healing as well as explosion healing, add MixinBootstrap the same way. On first launch the mod generates a config file where you can adjust delay, speed, scaling, and the morning-only option to fit your server or playstyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Explosion't stop creepers from exploding?

No. The explosion still happens and still deals damage. The mod rebuilds the blocks afterward, so the danger stays but the crater does not.

Do chests and their items survive?

Yes. Containers drop nothing when destroyed and regenerate with their contents intact.

What does /forceAllHeal do?

It instantly heals every loaded block that is currently waiting to rebuild. Use it when you want a clean slate right away instead of waiting for the timer.

Is Explosion't still being updated?

The last release is from November 2023. Check the project page for current status before relying on newer Minecraft versions.

Does it heal fire damage too?

Yes, with MixinBootstrap installed. Without it the mod covers explosions only.

If you want more creeper chaos in your world, try Creeper Overhaul for new variants, or Lucky TNT for hundreds of explosive blocks. Both pair well with a mod that cleans up after them.
