## Cheap Craftable Gunpowder<\/p>\n
**Cheap Craftable Gunpowder** is a utility mod designed to streamline the acquisition of gunpowder through a high-yield crafting recipe. By moving away from a reliance on Creeper drops and mob farms, it provides a consistent method for players to produce explosives using standard world materials.<\/p>\n
### Recipe and Yield<\/p>\n
The mod introduces a shapeless recipe that utilizes common carbon sources and mineral bases. Combining these ingredients produces a significant return, making it easier to stockpile resources for large projects.<\/p>\n
**Ingredients**: 1x Coal or Charcoal + 1x Sand or Gravel<\/p>\n
**Output**: 4x Gunpowder<\/p>\n
## Compatibility and Use Cases<\/p>\n
This mod is particularly effective when used in conjunction with other mods that increase the demand for gunpowder.<\/p>\n
– **Ammunition Production**: Provides a sustainable way to craft ammo for gun mods that require high volumes of gunpowder for cartridges and shells.
\n– **Industrial Mining**: Supports the use of TNT-heavy mining techniques and quarrying found in technical modpacks.
\n– **Renewability**: Because charcoal can be used, gunpowder becomes a fully renewable resource via tree farming, eliminating the need for complex mob-grinding infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
