This is my first Minecraft mod!<\/p>\n
This mod gives players another way to obtain gunpowder without the need for Creepers.<\/p>\n
**Important: Check Gallery for Recipes**<\/p>\n
## Why?<\/p>\n
In Minecraft, there is **mainly** only two ways to obtain gunpowder: **Creepers** and **Ghasts**. While you can make a Creeper Farm, that’s usaully an end-game\/post-game player would do, when the main use for gunpowder is Rockets. It’s also a rather static method for gunpowder. And Ghasts are pretty risky, given some can spwan over lava, where it can drop the gunpowder in lava. Thus, making the gunpowder for naught.<\/p>\n
I wanted to try and give players a more dynamic way of obtaining gunpowder, and letting them explore more of the world of Minecraft. That’s what this mod aims to do.<\/p>\n
By putting a coal or charcoal in the crafting table, the coal is crushed into black powder. Black powder is a necessary component for gunpowder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To craft gunpowder, you’ll need one black powder and one blaze powder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With this mod, you should have an easier time crafting gunpowder-related things, like TNT and rockets.<\/p>\n
## Depenencies?
\nNone.<\/p>\n
## Can I reupload?
\nNo reuploads.<\/p>\n
## Backport and\/or Fabric version?
\nDepends on my free time. I’m a college student, so time is rather limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
