✨ Features

* Works with every explosion: All vanilla and most modded explosives (such as creepers, TNT, crystals and fireballs) are all supported!

* Physics Based Debris: Explosions launch nearby blocks into the air as falling block entities with randomized speed, arc, and rotation. Enhances destructive capabilities of explosions.

* Screen Shake: Players near an explosion experience configurable camera shake based on blast power and distance.

* Ear-Ringing Effect: An ambient ringing sound plays when standing close to large explosions, enhancing the feeling of impact. Defaults to off, can cause discomfort especially at high volumes.

* Every Feature is Configurable: Customize behavior via `config/explosion-overhaul.json`, including:

* Debris count, velocity ranges, and spawn chance * Shake strength, radius, and duration * Sound toggle * Debug logging
