Explosion

The Explosive Barrel is a background object that generates naturally in the Cavern layer and functions as a stationary trap. When the player is within a certain proximity near the barrel, it transforms into an ambient NPC with 200 health, which can be damaged by the player or Town NPC.

When the player approaches close to the barrel or after a moderate amount of time the player has been within proximity, it will self-destruct. While self-destructing, it will start shaking around while rapidly draining its health, and once its health reaches to 0 or is killed by the player or town NPC, it will explode, causing a large-sized explosion that is capable of dealing massive damage to anything caught in the explosion. Its explosion does not destroy tiles but is capable of destroying plants or other breakable background objects.

Notes

• If the player has the Guide to Environmental Preservation or its upgrade enabled in their inventory, it will prevent the barrel's explosion from destroying plants.
• If the player attempts to break an Explosive Barrel either with a pickaxe or explosives without provoking it, it will disappear with no effect.
