Barrel Bombs

A barrel bomb is placed and its explosion extends forward in the direction the barrel faces, and additives loaded into it change the blast. Players can insert up to 32 additives per barrel, a limit set in the config. Blaze Powder extends the forward range of the explosion, and Gunpowder increases the blast radius. Additives go in with a right-click, and holding the stack in the offhand inserts the whole stack at once.

Explosions are more consistent than standard TNT: bombs ignore most blast resistance, so they can break through tough blocks such as those in Basalt Deltas. Chain reactions keep each bomb's own direction, and Obsidian placed by a player is immune by default, including chests and beds, which the config can change. The mod deals less damage to players than TNT. The barrelbombs command adjusts the settings, and only a few options are exposed in the config.

The mod requires Architectury API, which must be installed alongside it. Barrel Bombs runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 only, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
