Bomb Barrage
by RSGuy
Bomb Barrage adds thirty-two throwable bombs to the game, each with its own effect, from healing and teleporting to lightning and fire.
What it does
The bombs are thrown items that detonate on impact. Several act as decoys or utilities rather than damage sources: a Decoy Bomb does nothing, a Benefit Bomb heals entities caught in its blast, and a Purpur Bomb moves them to random positions in a manner similar to Chorus Fruit. Others apply effects: a Dizzy Bomb causes nausea, a Slime Bomb slows entities, and an Involuntary Bomb applies a new effect called Noluerunt that forces the player to move.
Other bombs strike or ignite. A Copper Bomb summons a lightning strike, a Fire Bomb sets nearby mobs ablaze, and a Crimson Bomb throws entities downward. A Firework Bomb explodes in a firework burst when it hits, and a Warped Bomb rounds out the set. Blaststeel is also used as an ingredient in other bomb recipes.
Bomb Barrage is published for Fabric and Forge, in one game version, 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is released under All rights reserved. JEI is recommended for viewing the recipes.
