What it does

The bombs are Forge items that a player throws, and they damage entities in their blast without destroying blocks, so terrain stays intact. Crafting recipes are kept simple, so the bombs are not hard to obtain. The mod is built for PvP and mob fights, and it is listed under Equipment with a Utility secondary category.

The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Throwable explosives

    Bombs are thrown like projectiles and detonate on impact, damaging players and mobs nearby.

  2. Block-safe blasts

    The explosions hit entities only, so blocks are not destroyed and builds survive the fight.

  3. Simple recipes

    Each bomb uses a short, straightforward crafting recipe, so players can make them early in a world.

What the author says

A simple mod that adds some throwable explosives that only hurt entities (blocks do not get destroyed). meant for PvP and mobs alike. Crafting recipes are super simple too, so you wont have a hard time getting them. Currently there are only three types, but more will be added later on.
