What it does

Gunpowder is a NeoForge add-on for Create that gives players a processing route to gunpowder. Coal is milled into carbon dust, sand into mineral dust, and flint is mixed with carbon dust to form volatile powder. Adding mineral dust, water and heat to volatile powder yields two gunpowder. The mod requires Create, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds target 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.2+1.21.1-neoforge as the latest file, released under All rights reserved; the code is not open source.

Key features

Milling and mixing recipes
Coal and sand pass through Create's milling step, while flint and carbon dust are combined in a mixer.
Heated gunpowder mix
The final mix needs volatile powder, mineral dust, water and heat, producing two gunpowder per run.
Alternative to mob drops
Gunpowder becomes a processed resource that fits Create's progression instead of relying on creeper drops or mob farms.
