Do Respawn blocks explode on or off?

Respawn Anchors in Minecraft explode if you try to use them (set spawn or respawn) in the Overworld or The End; they are designed to work only in the Nether, acting as a Nether equivalent to a bed, but they will also explode if you try to use them in the Nether when they're out of charges, similar to how beds explode in the Nether. The explosion happens by default in invalid dimensions or when depleted, but you can disable these explosions in Bedrock Edition via the /gamerule respawnBlocksExplode false command.

It's a safety feature (or hazard) to prevent players from setting Nether spawns outside the Nether, and it can be controlled with the /gamerule respawnBlocksExplode command.
