# Blast Rod<\/p>\n
This mod adds a single block, the **blast rod**, that breaks every movable block is pushed into.<\/p>\n
A blast rod can only break blocks that a piston can move, and only if the direction it is pushed is the same as it is facing, that is the opposite of where the iron part is.<\/p>\n
However, a blast rod doesn’t need to be directly pushed by a piston, there may be other blocks from between the blast rod and the piston.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An overly complicated contraption to break a cobblestone block with a blast rod.<\/p>\n
### Recipe<\/p>\n
From up to bottom in a vertical line, two blaze rods and an iron ingot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can place the ingredients in any column of the 3×3 Crafting Table grid.<\/p>\n
## Compatibility<\/p>\n
This mod heavily edits the algorithm that calculates which blocks are pushed (or pulled) by a piston, and so it is incompatible with other mods that edit or interact with the same algorithm.<\/p>\n
For instance, mods that change the number of blocks a piston can push (or pull).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
