Nether Bombs!
by lexuigi
Nether Bombs! adds explosives that spawn at random in the Nether, and a timed run back to the Overworld to defuse them.
What it does
Bombs appear at random places in the Nether. A carrier must grab one, run back to the Overworld and jump into water before the fuse runs out, since water disarms the bomb. Each bomb has three difficulty levels, and defusing one rewards the carrier with gold, diamonds and Netherite Scrap. Defeating mobs adds more seconds to the fuse. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds are published for Forge only, for 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Random Nether bombs
Explosives generate at random across the Nether, so each trip there can end in a race to get out.
Timed run to the Overworld
Once a bomb is picked up, the carrier has a fuse to reach the Overworld and submerge in water.
Rewards for defusing
A defused bomb gives the carrier gold, diamonds and Netherite Scrap, across three difficulty levels.
