## What this plugin does

Replicated Explosion Plugin provides a server-authoritative explosion workflow with replicated hit events and profile-driven behavior:

* trigger explosions from a reusable component
* configure behavior via `UExplosionProfile` data assets
* process affected actors and callbacks consistently in multiplayer
* drive VFX/SFX/camera shake/noise from one profile source

In simple terms: less custom explosion plumbing, more reusable multiplayer-safe explosion logic.
