About this Mod
Gunpowder+ is currently in a low-priority redesign phase. It's low on my project priority list and I will not be actively making update logs or developing new features for a while.

Description
This mod currently adds the 'Creeped' effect and a Musket rifle.
See what I'll add in the full version under Future Additions.
Added Content
Below is all the content the latest version adds.
Creep Positions
Brewing the Creep Potions and how they work in the MCreator version

- Potion of Creep: At the moment you can only use a Splash or Lingering potion to brew it since you need Gunpowder. Once you use it on an entity (or yourself, for whatever reason) it will explode with a power of 2 after the effect duration ends (30 seconds) or if they are caught on fire. Milk does work.
- Potion of Creep +: Use Redstone on a Potion of Creep. This will increase the potion's duration to 3 minutes (have fun finding a use for this!).
- Potion of Creep II: Use Glowstone Dust on a Potion of Creep. This will increase the explosion's power from 2 to 4 while also increasing the duration to 40 seconds.
Rifles and Pistols
Crafting the Rifles and Pistols and how they work in the MCreator version.
All of these will be different in the full release.

- Musket Rifle: At a crafting table use a Gold Ingot and 2 Iron Ingots in a line, then any wood slab in the center below and any wooden plank in the bottom left.
To fire, you need 2-3 Gunpowder (20% chance that you need 3) and an Iron Nugget. Keep clicking to load the Gunpowder until you hear a click indicating that it's now loaded and then click again to fire. It will deal 11 damage on any entity hit. Has a durability of 183.

- Snaphaunce Pistol: At a crafting table use an Iron Nugget and an Iron Ingot to the right of it, then any wooden slab in the bottom left.
In the full release it's meant to be weaker than the Musket (with lower power and less damage) but will be much cheaper and have a special ability no other ranged weapon has in the base game (including the Musket itself). Currently, it's not well balanced and I only added a recipe so you can try it out in survival.
Future Additions
These aren't in the Alpha because of either MCreator's limitations or because I just decided to wait for the beta / full release.
*May not add or will be vastly different after balancing.
Powder Flask: A flask that can hold powder by placing it inside a crafting table and surrounding it with the powder. When any of the flasks run out of powder they will be replaced with the Powder Flask.
Gunpowder Flask (Powder Flask filled with Gunpowder)
The Powder Flask filled with Gunpowder (the flask in the center surrounded by 8 gunpowder), each Gunpowder will become three uses on the Gunpowder Flask (24 total uses). This is undecided, but it might also take .65s instead of .75s when loading a Musket or Snaphaunce. It can also place the gunpowder onto the ground (takes three uses of the flask).
Placeable Gunpowder [as Add-On]
It acts similarly to Redstone Dust, except for an infinite distance and a 5-tick delay between each piece of Gunpowder activating. Each Gunpowder will be destroyed after being activated and can only be activated by Flint & Steel (I may add an option for Redstone activation in the config). It can be placed to branch into multiple directions and will activate any Redstone machinery.
*Cannon + Cannonball
This is very unlikely to be added, but I may have some ideas for a legitimate cannon that have unique functionality... I just can't think of any right now :|

Gunpowder+ server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.18.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Server lagging with Gunpowder+ – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Gunpowder+ consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
