About this Mod

]()

Now you can mine Gunpowder!

Have you ever felt like you needed lots of gunpowder but you didn't want to farm creepers?

Now, by using this mod, a gunpowder ore will spawn in your world in a similar way to coal and lapis.

This ore only spawns in the Overworld on Stone and Deepstone layers.

The drops are affected by fortune and give XP.
