Dynamites Overhaul
by Glythex
Dynamites Overhaul reworks TNT into a set of dynamites with its own crafting and use, and adds a villager profession that sells them.
What it does
The mod adds dynamites that mirror vanilla TNT styling but follow a separate, overhauled explosive system. A new villager profession trades dynamites and some other items, so players can buy explosives from a village instead of crafting every one. Some useful resources are also part of the trade list.
Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across four game versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, with 3.0106 as the latest file for both loaders. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
