by 3CTeam

Simple Gunpowder adds eight configurable gunpowder recipes, plus villager trades, piglin bartering and loot in Abandoned Camps and End Cities.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 26.3

What it does

Each gunpowder recipe can be enabled or disabled separately in the configuration file, so a server can keep only the sources it wants. The recipes include bulk versions that turn larger amounts of material into gunpowder, which makes it practical to stock fireworks or TNT without running a creeper farm. Novice Fletcher and Cleric villagers offer trades that supply gunpowder as well.

Gunpowder also turns up outside crafting. Piglins can barter it when given a gold ingot, returning 8–16 pieces, and Abandoned Camps containers have a chance to hold it, scaled by tier. End City treasure chests can contain between 48 and 64 pieces. The mod requires Fabric API and works with Mod Menu as an optional companion.

The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.

Key features

  1. Eight gunpowder recipes

    Eight recipes cover the overworld and the Nether, each one toggled in the configuration file.

  2. Bulk crafting

    Bulk recipes convert large stacks of material at once, useful for fireworks and TNT builds.

  3. Villager and bartering sources

    Novice Fletcher and Cleric villagers sell gunpowder, and piglins barter it for gold ingots.

  4. Loot in structures

    Abandoned Camps containers and End City chests can contain gunpowder, with a fixed quantity in the chests.

  5. In-game configuration

    Mod Menu opens the Fabric config button on Fabric and the mods list on NeoForge, so changes need no file editing.

How it compares

Full comparison

Craftable Gunpowder is server-side only, published for 1.20.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and it is not open source. Bartering Station is client and server, licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, open source and published for 1.19.2 – 26.3, so it is aimed at piglin trades rather than gunpowder recipes. Easy Gunpowder runs client and server on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 under the MIT License.

Questions

Does Simple Gunpowder need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency on the Fabric loader, and it must be installed next to Simple Gunpowder.

Does a player need the mod to join a server that runs it?

No. The server is required and the client is optional, so players may join without installing it.

Can each gunpowder recipe be turned off?

Yes. Each of the eight recipes can be enabled or disabled individually through the configuration file or Mod Menu.

Is a world reloaded before config edits take effect?

Yes. Leave the world and then start the game again so that edits to the configuration file are picked up.
