About this Mod
This mod adds new ammo types to create, including some new data driven actions for datapack creators.
Current content includes:
Spoiler
Vanilla game:
- Cookies - Feeds a single point of hunger. (Includes cookies added by farmers delight)
- Carved pumpkin and jack o lantern - works the same as pumpkin but is slightly weaker. The jack o lantern variant is nice for lighting up caves, and can ignite enemies.
- TNT - Self explanatory, has a very low velocity.
Miners delight:
- Cave carrot - Stronger carrot.
- Baked cave carrot - Slightly stronger baked potato.
- Copper carrot - Basically a slightly weaker golden carrot with channeling.
My nethers delight:
- Bullet pepper - Weak explosive, has a much higher velocity compared to TNT.
- Magma cake - High damaging projectile that ignites enemies.
- Magma cake slice - Low damaging variant with a fast reload time.
New hit actions for datapackers:
Spoiler
BlockHitAction:
- lightning_strike - Causes lightning strikes when hitting a lightning rod. Similar to channeling.
- explosion - Creates an explosion with the parameters: (radius, causes_fire, interaction)
EntityHitAction:
- lightning_strike - Causes lightning strikes when hitting entities. Similar to channeling.
- explosion - Creates an explosion with the parameters: (radius, causes_fire, interaction)
Future plans: I might add more content to support other mods if the demand is high enough.
