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.

Key features

  1. Damaging Blunderbomb

    Upon hitting something, the Blunderbomb emits a painful shockwave that damages and launches nearby players and mobs.

  2. Harmless Blunderwhiff

    The Blunderwhiff makes a non-damaging shockwave that still knocks entities back, for lighter chaos.

  3. Dispenser launching

    Dispensers can be set up to launch Blunderbombs, so automated traps and contraptions can use them.

  4. Immersive effects

    Custom particles, sounds and a dynamic light source are added to the explosions and throws.

Questions

Does Blunderbombs need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to Blunderbombs on Fabric for 1.20 – 1.20.4.

Does the server need Blunderbombs?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Can the Blunderbomb recipe be disabled?

The author notes that some friendly community servers disable the Blunderbomb recipe and leave only the Blunderwhiff craftable, which the author describes as a server choice.
