Your New Favorite Excavation Tool: The Barrel Bomb!<\/p>\n
Inspired by u\/-C-7007’s idea from r\/MinecraftSuggestions<\/p>\n
Requires the Architectury API<\/p>\n
## **\u26a0\ufe0f The Big Tradeoff**
\nWorried the Barrel Bomb might be overpowered? Fear not – it comes with a serious drawback:
\nit drops very few items (Configurable).
\nIt will never drop stone or ancient debris (Configurable)<\/p>\n
## **\ud83d\udca5 Key Features**<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Consistent Explosions**: More reliable than TNT, and it laughs in the face of gravity.<\/p>\n
**Blast Resistance? Denied.** Ignores most blast resistance, making it perfect for tough biomes, such as Basalt Deltas. (Configurable)<\/p>\n
**Directional Blasts**: The explosion extends forward based on the direction the barrel is facing. Even chain reactions preserve each individual bomb\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n
**Customizable Power**:<\/p>\n
Add Blaze Powder to extend the forward range of the explosion<\/p>\n
Add Gunpowder to increase the blast radius<\/p>\n
Max of 32 additives per barrel (also configurable)<\/p>\n
**Smart Placement**:<\/p>\n
Faces away from you when placed<\/p>\n
Hold Shift to make it face toward you instead<\/p>\n
**Efficient Additive Use**:<\/p>\n
Additives can be inserted one at a time with right-click<\/p>\n
Or put the item in your offhand to use an entire stack instantly<\/p>\n
**\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Anti-Griefing Measures**:<\/p>\n
Deals less damage to players than TNT<\/p>\n
Obsidian and other “player” blocks (Such as chests or beds) are immune by default (fully configurable)<\/p>\n
**\u2699\ufe0f In-Game Configuration**:<\/p>\n
Use the \/barrelbombs command to adjust settings on the fly. Tune it to your world\u2019s needs with ease. Note: A few settings can only be changes in the config<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
