Throwable Dynamite
by Charlie214
Throwable Dynamite, by Charlie214, adds a single dynamite item that players right-click to throw, and it explodes on impact.
What it does
The mod adds one throwable dynamite item to the world. A player throws it with a right-click, and it detonates where it lands. Dynamite is crafted from gunpowder, TNT and string, so the recipe is available early in a survival game. The explosion is set slightly weaker than vanilla TNT to limit how much terrain is destroyed.
The item works alongside vanilla mechanics and redstone, and the mod is aimed at clearing terrain while mining, digging trenches and exploring caves. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 1.0.0 as the latest beta file from 2024-12-13. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Right-click throwing
Players throw the dynamite with a right-click, and it explodes when it reaches its target.
Early-game recipe
The dynamite is made from gunpowder, TNT and string, so it can be crafted before advanced items are available.
Balanced explosions
The blast is intentionally weaker than TNT, which reduces excessive destruction.
Vanilla compatibility
The item fits alongside redstone and other vanilla items without changing how they work.
