Blast Resistance
The blast resistance of blocks affects the amount of damage that shields take and the strength of explosions when a shield is disabled.
A starship's hull should be constructed of armor blocks with high blast resistance such as stairs, slabs, walls, and terracotta, which have a modified blast resistance of 6.0. Core structural blocks such as concrete, which has a lower blast resistance of 1.8, cause shields to take more damage and explosions of unshielded blocks to be more powerful.
Blast resistance does not affect the amount of power drained when an explosion is negated by an Area Shield.
Some blocks have their blast resistance modified from vanilla Minecraft values. The modified blast resistance values can be found by using /blastresistance [block name], at the Horizon's End github, or in the chart below:
Pay attention to the fact that unstained Glass and Tinted Glass use vanilla values.
