Create Expanded Potato Cannon
by Puggicorn
Create Expanded Potato Cannon adds new ammunition types to the Create potato cannon, from carved pumpkins and cave carrots to bullet peppers and magma cake.
What it does
Each new ammunition item is a projectile with its own effect. Some add food and healing, some ignite the target, some carry light into dark caves, and a few change how a shot behaves on impact. The additions include a carved jack o' lantern version of the pumpkin, a cave carrot and its baked form, a copper carrot, a bullet pepper that explodes weakly at very high speed, and a magma cake that sets enemies alight. Several of these items are food-themed, with cookies among the foods that can be loaded.
The mod also includes a lightning strike projectile that calls down a bolt where it lands and can hit a lightning rod, and an explosive projectile with configurable radius that interacts with fire. Hit actions for these effects are defined through data-driven content, so datapack creators can add further ammo types. It needs Create to run, and it is open source under the MIT License. It is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, with version 1.0.0 released on 2026-04-30, and the environment is client and server.
Key features
Food-based ammo
Cookies, baked cave carrots and a magma cake slice are loaded into the cannon, and some restore hunger when hit.
Light and fire projectiles
A jack o' lantern shot lights up caves where it lands, and the magma cake ignites enemies it strikes.
Explosive and lightning shots
The bullet pepper and lightning strike projectiles add stronger impact effects with their own behavior.
Data-driven hit actions
New ammunition effects are declared in data files, so datapack creators can build additional hit actions.
