Potato's Potater Bombs
Potato's Potater Bombs adds throwable explosives built from potatoes, crafted at a Potater Station and thrown like any other item.
What it does
The Potater Bomb is a throwable explosive made from a potato, and the mod turns Minecraft's throwable explosives into a vegetable-based version. A Potater Station, which can be placed anywhere in the world, handles the crafting: a player first turns a potato into an empty barrel-shaped Potater, and then fills it using the slots shown in the station. Gunpowder is needed to make the first Potater, since normal potatoes alone cannot form one. Once the Potater is complete, it appears grayscale, gains its color, and can be taken out as a Potater Bomb.
Crafting stays simple with a few steps. Holding and left-clicking throws the bomb, and each throw costs durability, which is shown in the item description. Extra ingredients change the end result: plain potatoes raise durability at a rate of 1x, gunpowder raises it at 1.5x, and other base ingredients such as Baked Potatoes, Poisonous Potatoes and Redstone Dust add more. Durability can reach 182 at most. Modifiers are added by placing a Potater head over the Potater Station and inserting allowed items into the modifier slot, and clicking the modifier slot again removes them.
The mod runs on the server, and players need it only to craft and throw bombs. It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt on Minecraft 1.19 – 1.19.3, and a data pack and resource pack are included. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
More Explosives is a Fabric-only client and server mod for 1.19.2 under the MIT License, and it is open source. Potatoes (and their uses) runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.19.2 – 1.19.4 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is also open source. Bomb Barrage is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, so it does not cover the 1.19 range that Potater Bombs targets.
