    Potater GUI
  • In order to make your first Potater you are going to need gunpowder and normal potatoes. Then put them above their indicated slots.
  • Once that is complete you should see the grayscale Potater then gain color, you can take that out and claim your Potater Bomb.

Using Potaters

Using a Potater Bomb is as simple as holding it and left clicking! Notice it loses durability in it's description whenever it gets used.

Potater Bombs do not destroy blocks, TNT still needs to have a purpose and this makes sure it does.

Modifying

During the Potater creation process you can modify the end result by using certain items or increasing the quantity of the base ingredients.

Increasing the quantity of the basic ingredients gives your Potater more durability! Potatoes increase the durability of a Potater at a rate of 1x, while Gunpowder increases it at a rate of 1.5x! Up to a max of 182 durability to a Potater!

Modifier Slots

This is the main thing that sets this throwable bombs idea apart from others. You can modify the Potaters you make using these. Sometimes completely changing the functionality.

To add modifiers to the Potater head over to your Potater station and insert any of the allowed items the modifier slot says. Currently these items are:

  • Baked Potatoes
  • Poisonous Potatoes
  • Redstone Dust

Modifiers can be taken out by just clicking the modifier slot again.
