About this Mod

This mod (Forge only yet) adds Potassium and Sulphur Ores, which allow you (somewhat realistically) to craft Gunpowder;
 
which you can normally only get by slayng Creepers (that over time it gonna starts to get boring).
 
Unlike the other mods which add similar contents.
the manifesto of this mod is to avoid items which exist only for one purpose, becoming useless in advanced game.

each item has one ore more purpouses beside gunpowder

 

      [Tap on the button above for the MCreator page]

 
Note: the main version is the 1.20.1 

  ( the others may be outdated )

 
generation heights sulphur y9 to y75 
deepslate sulphur y-54 to y-7
nether sulphur y20 to y102
potassium y9 to y104

Few details:

Potassium ore only generates in the Overworld, while the Sulphur ore spawns both in the Overworld (in deepslate too) and the Nether.

craftings
 

In order to craft Gunpowder,
first you need to craft the Saltpetre by mixing Potassium, Rotten Flesh, and Bone Meal. 

 

if you have any gunpowder in excess, you may use it to make amazing throwable Explosive Bundles (name suggestions are appreciated).

NOTE: if  you don't like this feature, disable it trough this Datapack : https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/explosive-bundle-remover-for-potassium-amp-sulfur-s-gunpowder-official/ Minecraft Data Pack (planetminecraft.com)  

Potassium Blocks need to be handeled carefully nearby water or might react violently


wax them like Copper to prevent any harmful behaviour (or disable the reaction via doPotassiumBlocksExplode gamerule)

Blue Vitriol is a new shiny addition the the mod
use it to Clean up mossy blocks, grass, mycelium, and infested stones
or to speed up copper oxidation (it can also be turned to blue Dye)
