Craftable Gunpowder
by notblue
Craftable Gunpowder adds crafting recipes that turn sand, charcoal and magma blocks, or potent sulfur and bone meal, into gunpowder.
What it does
Gunpowder can be crafted from two sources: two sand, two charcoal and a magma block give four pieces, while six bone meal, two charcoal and potent sulfur give nine. The recipes use the charcoal and potent sulfur entries added in newer game versions. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also available. A server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the mod is not open source.

Two sand, two charcoal and a magma block craft four gunpowder.
Bone meal recipe
