I installed compiz-plugins-extra, expecting to enable animation effects like explode and window blur. But the extra plug-ins aren't shown in CompizConfig Settings Manager. Is there any way to get them?

compiz-plugin-extras
is a transitional dummy package. It does not contain the plugin(s) that you're looking for. It's more or less an empty package, only there to ensure a clean upgrade.
You will need to install the compiz-plugins
package. (Ubuntu 13.04 does not install this package - it only installs the compiz-plugin-defaults
package.)
After installing the compiz-plugins
package, use CompizConfig Settings Manager to enable/disable and/or to change the default configuration of the extra plugin(s) that came with the package.
Logout, login to make Compiz use the new plugin(s) and changed settings.

wasn't showing up. I think some effects were removed from Compiz last year, though I can't find anything about explode...
