Explosive Block, an add-on for the Wither Storm and Enderite mods listed below, adds explosive blocks and related items, weapons and recipes to a Forge world.

ForgeClient and serverAFL-3.01.16.5 – 1.20.1

What it does

Explosive Block registers its own explosive blocks in the creative inventory, along with new items, a weapon and a set of crafting recipes. Several of the recipes are built from Wood Planks, and the author ships a trap item that uses the new blocks. Recipes for the explosive blocks are discarded from the normal crafting path, and four of the hardest blocks require a diamond pickaxe to break.

The mod needs Cracker's Wither Storm Mod, Enderite Mod and Geckolib installed beside it, and it works with Cracker's Wither Storm Mod rather than on its own. Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional and is useful for browsing the new recipes. Explosive Block runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for the 1.16.5 – 1.20.1 range across five release versions, and the license is AFL-3.0, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

Explosive blocks
A group of explosive blocks is added to the creative inventory tab, and most of them are placed by the explosive block recipes.
New weapon and items
The mod adds a weapon and several new items that are used in the trap and explosive crafting paths.
Trap recipe
A trap built with the new items is included, and the recipe for it is shown in the optional tutorial files.
Keyboard shortcut
A key binding lets players trigger the explosive blocks from the keyboard, as in earlier builds of the mod.
