BLAST
by Ladysnake
BLAST is a bomb mod for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt that adds explosives used for mining and demolition.
What it does
Mining with explosives clears stone and ore faster than hand tools, and the mod is built around that use. Bombs are crafted from ordinary materials, so TNT is not the only explosive option. The mod's whole content is bombs, with no unrelated features added.
Players who want to roleplay a dwarf demolitionist will find the mod suited to that. The content is single-purpose, so it can sit alongside other equipment or gameplay mods without overlapping much. Required dependencies are Fabric API, Forgified Fabric API, Launchpad and StrawberryLib, and Blasted Paint Blocks and Polymer Patch for BLAST both need BLAST installed.
Both the server and every player need the mod to be installed. Builds cover 1.14.4 – 26.3 across Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with snapshot builds published. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Explosive mining
Bombs break blocks in an area, shortening the time needed to clear stone and ore.
Crafted bombs
Explosives are crafted from accessible materials, giving an alternative to the costly TNT block.
Single-purpose content
Every item in the mod is a bomb, keeping the added content focused on one mechanic.
Roleplay use
Demolition work fits a dwarf-style miner playstyle, where blasting replaces slow hand digging.
