What it does

Gunpowder normally comes only from creepers and other drops. With this mod, a player can craft it using a small recipe that combines glowstone dust with the other inputs, so the item is available early without hunting for drops. The mod is server-side only: players join without installing it, and only the server needs the mod. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Crafting recipe

    Gunpowder becomes a craftable item, with a recipe built from redstone dust, flint and charcoal or coal.

  2. Glowstone dust input

    The recipe uses glowstone dust as one of its ingredients, keeping the steps short for a small crafting grid.

  3. Crafting table layout

    Items are arranged in an order that fits the small crafting window, so the recipe works from the inventory grid as well.

This tiny (Neo-)Forge mod makes gunpowder craftable using a simple recipe of glowstone dust, redstone dust, flint and (char)coal. The items can be arranged in any order in a crafting table as well as in the small crafting window using your inventory.
