With this data pack installed, any mob within 8 blocks that you have eye contact with explodes!


Unfortunately, there are some problems due to the way Minecraft works:
  • Babies will explode if you look at where the eyes of the adult would have been.
  • Minecraft doesn't store rotation during the idle animation accurately. This means that the rotation you see doesn't equal the rotation the game knows about and looking at a mob eyes won't always cause it to explode. The rotation often equals the direction the mob last walked in.
  • Most mobs don't have vertical rotation, even if their heads can rotate vertically. This means that according to the game an mob might not be looking at a player, even though it visually appears to do so.
Although these side effects cause the mechanic more to be an occasional surprise than an actual reliable mechanic, I thought it was still funny and cool enough to release.

Enjoy! =)



Install Instructions
This is a datapack, it can easily be used in any world or server without any difficulties.
Simply drop the downloaded zip file in the "datapacks" folder of your world save (<world>/datapacks).
Then open your world and do
/reload

In case the datapack doesn't automatically get enabled, run:
/datapack enable "file/[​datapack folder name].zip"

I encountered a bug! What do I do now?

I test all my creations, but bugs happen no matter how long you test something. Whenever someone experiences a bug, I do my best to fix the issue. You can help me by providing any useful information. You can never give me enough information, but please send it in a DM instead of placing it in the comments. You can still place a one-liner in the comments stating the issue to make the community aware, but that alone isn't enough to help me fix the issue.
  • Checklist: Are you using the right version? Did you do /reload after dropping the datapack in? After /reload, does the datapack show up green in /datapack list?
  • What is the issue? Does the datapack not seem to be working at all or is there a specific feature you are having issues with?
  • What happened? Please give me all the steps needed to reproduce the issue. The faster I can experience it, the faster I can solve it.
  • What did you expect to happen instead? This helps me understand your point of view and determine if the issue described is actually the issue I need to fix. The bug you are experiencing could just be a side effect of something else that doesn't behave as expected.
