Create: Gunpowder
by Skywalker_21
Create: Gunpowder adds a multi-step Create assembly line that turns charcoal, netherrack and bone meal into gunpowder.
What it does
The mod builds a gunpowder chain on top of Create. Charcoal is processed through Millstone and Crushing Wheels to yield Charcoal Dust, and netherrack is crushed into Cinder Flour, a fiery equivalent of sulfur. Charcoal Dust, Cinder Flour and bone meal are then combined in a basin with saltpeter or nitrate to make a Raw Powder Blend in a Mechanical Mixer.
Raw Powder Blend is compacted with 250 mB of water in a Mechanical Press into a Gunpowder Cake, which Crushing Wheels break down into usable gunpowder with a chance of a bonus yield. Players need Create to use the mod, which is a required dependency and is not included here.
Create: Gunpowder runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, and the 1.0.0 build targets 1.21.1. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
