Bomb
by laowang
Bomb adds remote-detonated explosives to the game, with primed bombs that dial a phone number and a TNT Vest that self-detonates on a keypress.
What it does
Two bomb types are craftable: an unprimed bomb waits for a SIM card, and a primed bomb carries a phone number assigned by that card. Placing a primed bomb needs a solid block beneath it. A bomb can be detonated from a distance by calling its number from a mobile phone, so a single call anywhere in the world sets off the charge.
A SIM card generates a random 11-digit phone number when right-clicked, and using it on an unprimed bomb produces a primed bomb. The mobile phone opens a GUI with a contact list where numbers can be stored, dialed or deleted, and storing a number works by right-clicking a primed bomb holding a SIM card. The mod supports full crafting, so bombs, SIM cards and phones are all made at a crafting table.
Bomb is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not public, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, while public links exist for the source and the issue tracker. It is combined with the TNT Vest, a chest-slot item that can be worn and self-detonated with J, where explosion power grows with the number of vests worn, up to 64.
