NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1

What it does

Players throw five kinds of grenade: smoke, incendiary, fragmentation and impact, plus three deployable mines: anti-personnel, directional fragmentation and thermite. Mines are placed as entities rather than grid-locked blocks, so they can sit on any suitable surface. Every device carries a distinct gameplay role, model, texture, deployment behaviour and set of parameters that the server can adjust. Armed mines detonate when vanilla arrows and other compatible weapon projectiles strike them.

Smoke is drawn with Veil's volumetric rendering instead of ordinary smoke particles. A reusable signal beacon releases colored smoke with a centered vertical beam, and its color changes with Minecraft dyes. The server settings decide how long an activation lasts and how long the cooldown runs. Grenadier requires Sable and Veil. Veil is needed only for client rendering, and another compatible mod that already supplies Veil makes a duplicate copy unnecessary.

Both the server and every player's client need Grenadier installed for it to work. On first world opening it generates a server configuration, which modpack authors can copy into newly created worlds. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Five throwable grenades

    Smoke, incendiary, fragmentation and impact grenades each have a distinct effect when thrown.

  2. Freely placed mines

    Anti-personnel, directional fragmentation and thermite mines are entities that can be set on suitable surfaces.

  3. Volumetric smoke

    Smoke uses Veil-powered volumetric rendering instead of standard smoke particles.

  4. Reusable signal beacon

    A beacon releases colored smoke with a vertical beam, with color set by dyes and timing set by the server.

Questions

Does Grenadier need Veil?

Yes. Veil is a required dependency. It is needed only for client rendering, and a copy already supplied by another compatible mod does not need to be installed again.

Does Grenadier need to be installed on the server?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Where are the server settings for Grenadier?

The mod generates a server configuration the first time a world is opened. Activation duration and cooldown for beacons and devices are set there.
