I'm currently creating a projectile that when it hits anything, it explodes. I was wondering if it was possible to change the damage value of the explosion that the projectile creates.

 

Currently I'm just using world.createExplosion with a strength of 2. But when I change it to anything below 2 it just a smaller explosion particle (which I don't want).

I don't understand your goal.

I think he's asking how to change how much damage the explosion does to entities, without affecting block damage?

No, when changing the strength of the explosion, it creates little to no particles basically looking like nothing exploded if I made the strength less than 2, and with the strength at 2 the damage is half health to full damage on a player. I was wondering if I can change the damage value of the explosion (ex: doing only 3 hearts of damage instead) without having to change the strength.

I'd need to look into it myself but you can probably create a custom explosion extending the vanilla one to do that, and look into how vanilla spawns it, and replicate that.

You need to spawn particles.

When I use spawn Explosion_Large/Normal/Huge it doesn't spawn anything. Also how would that change the damage of the explosion other than give off no damage at all?

You can use a 1 power explosion if you want it to do less damage.  That's irrespective of the particle effects.

 

If you're having a problem with the particles, go dig into the doExplosion methods and search out what it does to make them.

The problem with changing the strength of the explosion below 2 is not only particle effect though. It also changed the radius of the explosion.

Since display size, block damage radius, and entity damage is all based on one variable, you need to modify that with your own custom explosion.
