Blunderbombs
by LoonieToque
Blunderbombs brings chaotic throwables inspired by Sea of Thieves to Minecraft, in both damaging and non-damaging forms.
What it does
Two craftable items make up the mod: the Blunderbomb, which deals explosive damage and throws nearby players and mobs into the air, and the Blunderwhiff, which deals no damage but still knocks back entities in a smaller shockwave. Damage from the Blunderbomb depends on distance, from one to three hearts nearby and up to five hearts for a direct hit, with any remainder dealt as projectile damage. Both shockwaves can be countered effectively with Blast Protection, and fall damage still applies after a launch.
Dispensers can be set to launch Blunderbombs, and the mod adds dynamic light, custom particles and more immersive sounds. Fabric API is required, and the mod is a Fabric project for 1.20 – 1.20.4, with Client and server as its environment, so the server and every player need it. The author notes that translations need help, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved, with a source code repository, issue tracker and wiki linked from its page. The mod is a fan project made with love and has no affiliation with Rare Ltd., which owns the Sea of Thieves Blunderbomb names.
