More Explosives
by Sparkierkan7
More Explosives adds several kinds of bombs, grenades and explosive items to Minecraft Java Edition 1.19.2 on Fabric, with gunpowder-based weapons that load and fire from the offhand.
What it does
The mod adds explosive items beyond vanilla TNT. Gunpowder Bomb, Gunpowder Pack, Gunpowder Bomb Shrapnel, Gunpowder Depth Charge, Incendiary Bomb and Incendiary Pack each behave differently when placed or thrown. Bombs start their fuse once they hit the ground, and the fuse length is changed from the vanilla value. Explosion power rises by 0.25 per step, capped at 4.0 for some items and 7.0 for others.
Gunpowder is handled as a loadable weapon. A player holds a ramrod in the offhand and right-clicks to load shot, iron shot or copper shot, with up to four gunpowder added. Stats can be viewed the same way, and a shot is fired with a right click. Shears are not consumed when used with the mod's items.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only. It needs Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Nbt Crafting installed alongside it. Files exist for 1.19.2 only, and the latest is 0.2.2, released on 2023-06-01 on the beta channel.
Key features
Several bomb types
Gunpowder bombs, packs, shrapnel and depth charges, plus incendiary bombs and packs, add variety to explosive play.
Tuned fuse timing
The fuse length of the explosive items is changed from vanilla, and bombs start ticking once they land.
Offhand gunpowder weapon
Shot is loaded from the offhand with a ramrod, and a right click fires it, so no crafting bench is needed to use it.
Shears keep their durability
Using shears with the mod's explosives does not consume them.
