About this project

What does ExplosionGlass add?

# 🧨 ExplosionGlass — Make glass fragile again!

**ExplosionGlass** is a lightweight Minecraft Forge mod for 1.12.2 that makes glass blocks behave more realistically during explosions. Nearby blasts will shatter glass, including panes and stained types — just like in real life!

It’s fully configurable, localized, and works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

  • 📏 **Customizable radius** of glass breaking

  • 🎁 **Optional glass item drop** — glass can drop as an item if enabled
  • 📴 **Mod toggle option** — disable the mod via config without uninstalling
