All Mobs Explode

AllMobsExplode

Turn regular Minecraft mobs into walking bombs.

When a mob gets close to you, it starts flashing and hissing like a creeper — then it blows up. There's also an optional speedrun mode with a timer and a leaderboard.

Features

• Mobs blow up when they get near you
• Change how close they have to be, how long before they go off, and how big the boom is
• Turn fire and block damage on or off
• Choose whether mobs need to actually see you first
• Pick mobs that should stay safe, or make normally harmless things explode (arrows, boats, minecarts)
• Turn it on and off any time — no restart needed
• Mobs still drop their normal loot, and you still get credit for the kill
• Creepers and the Ender Dragon never explode from this
• Commands pop up as you type them, and your settings save on their own
• Won't lag your server, even when a ton of stuff goes off at once

Default settings

All of this is in config.yml, and /ame reload picks up your changes.

Downloads

Grab the one that matches your server:

The Fabric/Quilt version needs Fabric API. Your friends don't need to install anything to join — putting it on your own game just adds the speedrun timer in the corner.

How to install

Paper / Purpur / Spigot

1. Stop the server
2. Put the JAR file in your plugins folder
3. Start the server
4. Type /ame help

Fabric / Quilt

1. Install Fabric Loader or Quilt Loader
2. Install Fabric API
3. Put the JAR file in your mods folder
4. Start the game or server

Commands

/ame and /allmobsexplode both work.

Turning it on and off

Safe mobs

Mobs you don't want blowing up.

Extra explosives

Stuff that normally can't explode, but will.

/ame include add arrow
/ame include add oak_boat

Speedruns (optional)

Nobody gets timed unless they choose to. Start with /ame run start, and the timer stops when you beat the Ender Dragon.

Before you can start:

• You're in Survival, and difficulty isn't Peaceful
• You're in a brand new world you haven't played yet
• You don't have admin powers
• You're the only person online
• Explosions and speedruns are both turned on

⚠️ Starting a run deletes your items, armor, Ender Chest, XP, and potion effects. Don't start one in a world you care about.

Your run won't count if:

• Someone else joins
• You switch to Creative or Spectator
• An admin gives you help
• The settings get changed while you're playing
• You've played in that world before
• You use commands that give you an unfair advantage (/give, /tp, /gamemode, and so on)

Finished runs save your name, time, world seed, difficulty, Minecraft version, server type, settings, and the date. They're saved in a way that makes fake times easy to spot.

For server admins

/ame speedrun
/ame speedrun status
/ame speedrun toggle

Admins have to turn off their own admin powers before doing a run.

Problems?

If you find a bug you can make happen again, tell me your Minecraft version, what kind of server you're on, which version of AllMobsExplode you have, and any red text from the console.
