Demolitions
by mewoDev
Demolitions adds a set of throwable and placeable explosives for Forge, each built from different materials and with its own fuse, radius and effect.
What it does
Each explosive is crafted from a different material. The classic bomb uses iron, gunpowder and string, has a smaller radius than TNT and explodes relatively fast. Other bombs are infused with fire or lightning, leave fire trails, launch shrapnel, or split into four smaller bombs when they go off. Most throwable explosives land on the floor and wait for a timer of about two seconds before they detonate.
The mod also adds a Dynamite item, which has a much larger explosion radius and a higher cooldown, and a TNT variant that acts like a cluster bomb. Normal TNT still works and can be crafted the old way, and the variant TNT is activated by redstone like regular TNT. Demolitions requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, for game versions 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2024-07-28. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Fire and lightning bombs
A bomb infused with flames sets its surroundings on fire and inflicts a Flaming effect on enemies, while another summons lightning wherever it explodes.
Shrapnel and split bombs
One bomb launches sharp shrapnel outward, and another releases four smaller bombs when it goes off, each with its own fuse.
Dynamite and cluster TNT
Dynamite has a much larger radius than the other bombs at a higher cooldown, and a variant TNT behaves like a cluster bomb.
Dynamite crafting
Dynamite can be used to craft normal TNT with six paper and three Dynamite, and the original recipe is still available.
