minecraft:explode defines how the entity explodes.

Parameters

Name Default Value Type Description
breaks_blocks True Boolean If true, the explosion will destroy blocks in the explosion radius.
causes_fire False Boolean If true, blocks in the explosion radius will be set on fire.
destroy_affected_by_griefing False Boolean If true, whether the explosion breaks blocks is affected by the mob griefing game rule.
fire_affected_by_griefing False Boolean If true, whether the explosion causes fire is affected by the mob griefing game rule.
fuse_length [0.0, 0.0] Range [a, b] The range for the random amount of time the fuse will be lit before exploding; a negative value means the explosion will be immediate.
fuse_lit False Boolean If true, the fuse is already lit when this component is added to the entity.
max_resistance 3.40282e+38 Decimal A blocks explosion resistance will be capped at this value when an explosion occurs.
power 3 Decimal The radius of the explosion in blocks and the amount of damage the explosion deals.

Tip

max_resistance is set to a default value of 3.40282e+38. An alternative to using this number is the string "infinite" to achieve the same result.
