Explosive Stick
by TheDoxito
Explosive Stick is a Forge weapon mod that adds a stick which sets off a primed TNT block at the point of impact when it hits a mob, an animal or another player.
What it does
The stick does not deal damage as a sword would. Each time it strikes an entity, a primed TNT block is placed where the target stands and detonates, so a single touch can be devastating. The item keeps the classic Minecraft look of a plain stick, and the mod is meant to add a playful weapon alongside arrows and swords rather than replace them.
Explosion effects come from the required dependency, which supplies the custom animation and the moving, shaking visuals that make each hit feel large. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 for Forge only, and the latest build, 1.0.0 for 1.20.6, is in the beta channel. The code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Explosive hit
Striking a mob, an animal or a player places a primed TNT block at the target's position, which then explodes.
Stick as a weapon
The item uses a plain stick appearance and works as a melee weapon, offering a different way to fight than arrows or swords.
Enhanced explosion visuals
Explosions use a custom animation and screen movement supplied by the required dependency.
Entity-wide effect
Every living entity the stick hits triggers the explosion, including other players, so the item can be used in combat or for pranks.
