Joe's Explosives

Sticks of dynamite are the base item, and they are crafted with wax paper as exterior packaging. A single stick is the cheapest and weakest explosive in the set, releasing about half the blast of a TNT block. Strapping three sticks together produces a stronger charge, and the bundle can be thrown like any other item. Dynamite also serves as an important base ingredient for almost every item the mod adds, and each crafting recipe draws on it.

A launcher weapon fires sticks of dynamite and turns each one into a lit TNT block when it lands. The random explosives are the main variety: each one has its own power, and the strongest reaches roughly twice the strength of a TNT block. The mod covers many explosive types, so most of the additions relate to the dynamite line. Joe's Explosives is published for NeoForge only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
