About this project

What does Alternate Gunpowder add?

This is my first Minecraft mod!

This mod gives players another way to obtain gunpowder without the need for Creepers.

Important: Check Gallery for Recipes

Why?

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.

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.

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.

Black Powder Recipe

To craft gunpowder, you'll need one black powder and one blaze powder.

Craftable Gunpowder

With this mod, you should have an easier time crafting gunpowder-related things, like TNT and rockets.

Depenencies?

None.

Can I reupload?

No reuploads.

Backport and/or Fabric version?

Depends on my free time. I'm a college student, so time is rather limited.
