About this Mod
Craftable Gunpowder
The Beginning
A while ago I played a custom Modpack with my friends and created this Datapackt using MCreator to balance it a bit. Idk why but I remember needing a ton of gunpowder for something.
Modrinth
I then uploaded it to Modrinth and didn't really care about it after I no longer used it.
It did somehow get a lot of downloads (and this didn't change to this day even tho it broke with a newer update).
Trying to learn how to code
I want to learn how to propperly create or code data-/texturepacks, mods, plugins, etc. in the near future so if you have suggestions for an easy project or any tips then feel free to join my Discord and open a ticket.
