Explodrop is a lightweight Minecraft Forge mod that changes how explosions work in vanilla Minecraft.
Normally, explosions destroy nearby blocks, but only some of those blocks are dropped as items while the rest disappear permanently. Explodrop removes this limitation by making every block destroyed by a vanilla-style explosion drop as an item, helping players recover all of their resources.
Whether you're defending your base from Creepers or using TNT for large-scale mining and automation, Explodrop ensures that valuable blocks are never lost to explosion mechanics. Instead of gathering new materials after a Creeper leaves a hole in your floor, you can simply pick up the dropped blocks and rebuild immediately, making cleanup faster, easier, and far less frustrating.

Explodrop Result |
Explodrop modifies the vanilla explosion logic so that destroyed blocks always drop as items instead of being randomly removed.
Because it operates on the standard explosion system, the mod is lightweight and remains compatible with most blocks added by other mods that use vanilla-style explosions.
