TFC Dynamite

Dynamite is crafted in three stages within a simple tech tree. First a sulfur powder and water mixture yields sulfuric acid, which combines with saltpeter, nitrogen-based nitric acid and a fat or olive oil path to form mixed acid. Glycerol, made from oil and lye, is then combined with mixed acid to produce nitroglycerin, which is sealed in a barrel for a day before use. Finally nitroglycerin is mixed with dirt, mud brick powder or clay powder to form the dynamite sticks.

Placed dynamite that is embedded in the ground detonates a 3x3x3 area centered beneath the block, similar to vanilla TNT, and the blast returns the blocks it breaks. Unstable dynamite is the most volatile form, stable dynamite is the standard version, and reinforced dynamite uses the same mechanics with a larger blast radius. A copper blasting cap allows the stable and reinforced types to be used for tunneling. Placed dynamite can be set off with a fire starter or a fuse cord.

The mod is built to excavate and reshape large areas while keeping a realistic feel. Nitroglycerin and unstable dynamite explode when handled badly, including when a player holds them too long, when a container catches fire, or when they are within a blast radius, so storage and transport need care. The mod runs on client and server and is published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved.
