What does ExplosionGlass add?

ModDex rating

🧨 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.
