Grass Bombs
by pexuls
Grass Bombs is a Forge magic item set for 1.20.1 that turns dirt-like blocks into grass within a small area after they are thrown.
What it does
A grass bomb, once thrown, converts the dirt blocks it lands on into grass in a 3-cube radius, changing blocks that visibly show dirt and skipping those under a non-solid block on top. Without the mod, dirt turns to grass only slowly through nearby grass, so the bomb offers a much quicker route to grass coverage on a patch of land.
Three further variants follow the same pattern: path bombs, podzol bombs and mycelium bombs, each converting into its own block. Their recipes become available by breaking the matching block, and the crafting recipes for the bombs are shown in the mod's own listing. The mod is described as a small quality-of-life addition and also covers fixing creeper holes.
Grass Bombs runs on the client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, with the 1.1.0 build for 1.20.1 released 2024-08-29, and it is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Pipe Bomb is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source. Barrel Bombs is open source under the MIT License and covers both Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1, so it reaches players on either loader. Demolitions is for Forge 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 under All rights reserved and is not open source. Grass Bombs differs by converting ground blocks rather than dealing explosive damage, and it targets only Forge 1.20.1.

What the author says
Grass Bombs is a small quality of life mod that just adds in a new array of items, stemming from the Grass Bomb! If a Grass bomb hits a block after being thrown, all the dirt blocks in a small 3-cube radius with a non-solid block on top of them will convert into grass blocks.
