Boom!
by Lukopro
Boom! adds explosive bombs for Forge and NeoForge that players craft, upgrade and throw, with a Demolition Table for storing them.
What it does
Bombs are crafted from the mod's items and can be thrown instantly. Explosions produce fire and a blast radius that can be increased through upgrades, and the bombs are tiered, with a sixth tier at the top. Tier upgrades use Wither Skulls and Nether Stars as ingredients.
The bombs are tuned to avoid collateral harm: they do not break ordinary blocks, do not deal mob damage or knockback, and do not destroy item drops, though they can break more resistant blocks. The Demolition Table holds bombs on its top, upgrades and modifiers on its sides, and gives bombs back from its bottom. Client and server both need the mod, and the code is under All rights reserved with a public source repository.
Key features
Tiered bombs
Bombs come in tiers, with upgrades that raise the tier and the blast strength.
Demolition Table
A table takes bombs from the top, upgrades and modifiers from the sides, and releases bombs from the bottom.
Adjustable blast effects
Modifiers change how an explosion behaves, such as blast radius, knockback and whether drops survive.
Fire and breaking
Explosions add fire and can break resistant blocks, while ordinary blocks are left intact.

Deposit Bombs to the top of the Demolition Table. Deposit Upgrades and Modifiers to the sides of the Demolition Table. Take Bombs out of the bottom of the Demolition Table. Careful not to have too much fun... you can probably lose a couple of friends over these.
