About this project
What does Grenades! add?
Version 1.2.0 changed how the config works, old config files will not work
A mod which adds throwable, explosive grenades.
Types of grenades:
- Jug Bombs - Low damage with large blast radius
- Jug Fire and Oil Bombs - Almost no direct damage but leaves flaming pieces on the ground
- Glass Grenades - Medium damage with medium blast radius
- Metal Grenades - High damage with low blast radius, damage depends on type of metal used
Grenade explosions do NOT destroy blocks, so they are safe to use at home : )
This mod may be a bit under/over-powered, balance needs testing.
If you have suggestions regarding balansing or anything else, feel free to post it.
