About this Mod
Craft Gunpowder easily!
This Mod introduces a simple crafting recipe for vanilla gunpowder with just 3 ingredients.
The crafting recipe is inspired by the real life and how gunpowder is really made.

With a Piglin Bartering station and a simple blaze farm, this should be no problem at all.
But wait, there is more:
This Mod introduces a new fuel item made from 4 gunpowder which burns for 30 seconds at a time!


And you also can always craft it back into regular gunpowder. Usefull for item management or if you want to store your gunpowder more compact. For example at a gunpowder farm to prevent chests to fill too fast.

And there is even more:
You now can craft cheaper explosives with the new Explosive Barrels! Perfect for pirate themed builds as a dangerous decoration.


You can light the Explosive Barrel in any way that you would do a normal TNT (redstone, flame arrows, TNT explosion, flint and steel...)


(Right now, the Explosive Barrel is just an extention of the TntBlock.class, feel free to make changes to this mod. The repository is on my GitHub (link in mod-menu))
