Vanilla throwing dynamite
by catcutee
Vanilla throwing dynamite adds a way to hurl dynamite by hand, with the throw timed by how long the mouse button is held.
What it does
Holding the right mouse button with dynamite in the dominant hand and a fire starter in the other lights the fuse. Releasing the button tosses the dynamite into the air. The longer the button stays down, the later the charge detonates, and at about 4.5 seconds it explodes in the player's hands and causes significant damage.
Throwing too early sends the dynamite too far, while throwing too late makes it explode right in front of the thrower, so the timing has to be balanced. A distinctive hissing sound warns of an imminent detonation. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 0.0.1 as the latest file. The gunpowder recipe is the one used to craft the dynamite.

You can now launch dynamite directly from your hand! To do this, hold the dynamite in your dominant hand and the fire starter in your non-dominant hand, then hold down the right mouse button. Releasing the button will toss the dynamite into the air. Caution: if you hold the mouse button for longer than 4.5 seconds…
