Zoni's Gunpowder Ore
by ZoniCraft
Zoni's Gunpowder Ore adds a gunpowder ore to world generation, so gunpowder can be collected directly from stone.
What it does
The ore generates underground in the same way coal and lapis ore do, and it appears only in the Overworld within the Stone and Deepstone layers. Breaking an ore block drops gunpowder, the amount of which is raised by enchanted tools, and mining the ore also gives experience. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Collectible gunpowder
A simple mining path lets players collect gunpowder from the ore instead of relying on mobs.
Coal and lapis style spawning
The ore is placed underground the way coal and lapis ore are, in the Stone and Deepstone layers of the Overworld.
Drops and experience
Enchanted tools increase the gunpowder dropped from each ore block, and mining the ore gives experience.
