Potassium 'n' Sulphur Gunpowder (PSG)
by Aless15204
Potassium 'n' Sulphur Gunpowder changes how gunpowder is made, adding potassium and sulphur ores and throwable Explosive Bundles, and it works on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod adds potassium and sulphur as new materials. Potassium ore generates only in the Overworld, between heights 9 and 104, while sulphur ore appears in the Overworld, in deepslate at its lower band, and in the Nether at height 20. Blue Vitriol is a new shiny addition that can be used to clean up mossy blocks and grass. Gunpowder is the first step: a player crafts saltpetre by mixing potassium with rotten flesh and bone, and that saltpetre then goes into gunpowder. The extra gunpowder can be used to make throwable Explosive Bundles, so the item keeps more than one purpose instead of only being used on Creepers.
The mod is built for Forge on 1.20.1 only, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The latest Forge file is published 2025-10-31, after the first release on 2024-11-13. Older videos show outdated versions, and the author notes that the mod has changed a lot since.

What the author says
This mod (Forge only yet) adds Potassium and Sulphur Ores, which allow you (somewhat realistically) to craft Gunpowder; which you can normally only get by slayng Creepers (that over time it gonna starts to get boring).
