4 months ago Regarding the premature closing, it occurred to me after I wrote about the 'issue' that underwater explosions destroying interactive contraptions may have been an intentional design, just in case someone wanted to destroy an underwater contraption. So I didn't think the issue was worth keeping open. I've reopened the discussion out of the slight hope that I was being too hasty.
In the current 1.20.1 version, any underwater explosion that occurs next to an assembled 'Interact Me' contraption will destroy any blocks with low blast resistance that are part of the contraption. Explosions should be able to destroy parts of a given contraption that aren't protected or warfare has no punchline. However, for the sake of contraptions that make use of controlled explosions, blocks shouldn't be affected if the explosion happens underwater.
