Easier Gunpowder
by Betaeta
Easier Gunpowder changes how gunpowder is obtained, replacing the usual drop-based route with a craftable recipe.
What it does
The mod adds a custom crafting recipe that produces gunpowder from charcoal and sulfur, so the item can be made from gathered materials instead of waiting for a drop. Sulfur is treated as the core ingredient, and the recipe takes two sulfur blocks and two charcoal to yield the result. The mod is published for 26.2 only, under All rights reserved, and is not open source. The server must run it, while players may leave it out.
Key features
Charcoal-based recipe
Gunpowder is crafted from charcoal together with sulfur, giving a route that does not depend on creeper drops.
Sulfur blocks as input
Two sulfur blocks and two charcoal form the recipe, so sulfur gathering becomes the main step.
Gathering-based progress
Players collect sulfur and charcoal in the world and craft gunpowder from them instead of hunting for a rare drop.
