Gunpowder Ore
by biggsmcb
Gunpowder Ore adds a new ore block that yields gunpowder when broken, giving players a natural source of the item.
What it does
The mod adds one ore block, named Gunpowder Ore, that generates in the world and breaks with a stone pickaxe or better. Breaking it returns two gunpowder, and large veins appear in both Dripstone Caves and Lush Caves. Detonating gunpowder creates a small explosion, and the mod removes gunpowder as a drop from fantasy mobs such as creepers, so the ore becomes the main supply. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across five game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, and the code is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
Key features

Gunpowder Ore generates as veins in the world, so gunpowder can be gathered from the terrain instead of hunting mobs.
Two items per block
Breaking one Gunpowder Ore block returns two gunpowder, and a stone pickaxe or better is enough to break it.
Cave placement
Large veins generate in both Dripstone Caves and Lush Caves, where they can be found while exploring.
