Easy GunPowderz

by bloxnoobz168

Easy GunPowderz lets a Blast Furnace turn charcoal into gunpowder, a recipe that vanilla Minecraft does not provide.

ForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.8

What it does

The Blast Furnace gains a smelting recipe that converts charcoal into gunpowder, so players no longer have to depend on hunting Creepers for it. Hoppers can feed the furnace, which makes automated gunpowder production possible. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.8 and Forge 1.20.1, and it is licensed as All rights reserved; it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Charcoal to gunpowder

    Charcoal placed in a Blast Furnace smelts into gunpowder, giving an alternative to Creeper drops.

  2. Hopper-fed production

    Hoppers that feed the Blast Furnace can run a gunpowder factory without manual input.

  3. Fuel-based recipe

    The recipe uses the furnace's fuel and smelting cycle, so output depends on how the furnace is supplied.
