This is my first ever mod as a modder. What my mod is attempting to do is educate the uneducated Minecrafter about explosives (somewhat) and to enhance explosives. Also please comment whether or not you think my mod will turn out well.
New items:
Nitrate Ore:
Nitrate Ore is a new ore that appears at Y=32 and below. It can be mined with an Iron+ pick for 2-4 Nitrate, it has the same rarity as Redstone
Glycerine Ore:
Glycerine Ore is found at Y=30 and below. It is mined with a Iron+ Pick and yield 3-5 Glycerine, it is slightly rarer than Nitrate Ore
Black Powder:
Black Powder is crafted using Charcoal (and Charcoal only!) and Nitrate. Black Powder can be placed, and if you apply fire the an adjacent block it will explode doing 1 heart of damage in a 3x3x3 area.
Gunpowder:
Gunpowder is crafted using either Black Powder with Sulphur (still dropped by creepers) or by combining Charcoal, Sulphur, and Nitrate. It can be placed and set off just like Black Powder but does 1.5 hearts of damage in a 4x4x4 area.
Sawdust:
Sawdust is obtained when you craft a log into planks, 4 sawdust is left behind by the log.
Nitroglycerin:
Nitroglycerin is crafted when you mix Nitrate and Glycerine.
Dynamite:
Dynamite is crafted by mixing two Nitroglycerin and two Sawdust. It can be thrown about twice as far as dropping it with Q and will take a second to blow up after it has hit the ground, the explosion deals 4 hearts of damage, destroying tiles and dealing damage in a 3x3x3 area.
Unstable Explosive:
Unstable Explosive is created by crafting a Clock, an Iron Ingot, TNT, and Dynamite. It can be placed and can be set off by Redstone or Fire and will explode dealing 8 hearts of damage and destroying tiles in a 12x12x12 area.
Also, TNT is now crafted with Dirt and Gunpowder, and deals 3 hearts of damage, destroying tiles and dealing damage in a 6x6x6 area.
Also, being close to the point of explosion kills instantly.
