Better Craftable Gunpowder & more
by Vordix
Better Craftable Gunpowder & more is a Fabric mod that changes how gunpowder is made and stored, for 1.21.10 only.
What it does
The mod adds a new, easier gunpowder recipe that players can farm, and a compact storage option so stacks of gunpowder take less space in chests. Because it also offers a Piglin bartering station and a simpler blaze farm setup, obtaining gunpowder is less tied to one source. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. It is published for Fabric only, with a single release, 1.0.1, for 1.21.10, and it is not open source, as the code is under All rights reserved.
Key features
Easier gunpowder recipe
A new recipe makes gunpowder from easier-to-farm materials, so a blaze farm is no longer the only route.
Compact gunpowder storage
Gunpowder can be stored in a more compact form, which keeps chests from filling up too quickly on a gunpowder farm.
Explosive Barrel
A new explosive barrel is lit with flint and steel or fire arrows, with its own explosion behavior separate from TNT.
