We have TNT, a powerful explosive. What about something a little weaker?
I suggest adding firecrackers to the game. The crafting recipe could simply be 5 pieces of paper wrapped around a piece of gunpowder, with a string on top.
They'd be small items, around the size of a torch, and would allow players to pass through.
TNT has an explosive force of 4. Firecrackers would have an explosive force of just 1, equal in destructive power to a ghast fireball, but would only deal a maximum of 1 heart damage to entities.
I build a lot of redstone contraptions, and it would be fun to have weaker explosives that can injure players and fragile blocks while leaving stronger blocks intact. It'd be nice to build explosive devices not entirely sheathed in obsidian.
I'd agree if they became entities like active TnT does with a firework animation on them. Making a few vertical cannons as fireworks launchers would be nice.
Agree with the idea o/ But how they can be used? They are throwed, or can be used as blocks to be activated with redstone?
They would be placed, and then triggered with redstone or fire.
Functionally they would operate like TNT with a few major differences. First they would be transparent blocks, they'd be torch sized, and like torches they would not block players/mobs from passing through them, and would get broken off into item form by liquids and pistons. Unlike torches they would only be placeable on floors, and would break if the floor is removed.
