Gunpowder has existed in Minecraft for most of its history, primarily sourced from Creepers. But with the addition of Sulfur in Chaos Cubed, crafting Sulfur similar to how it is created in real life is possible!
This pack adds a recipe using a Sulfur Spike, Charcoal, and 2 Bone Meal, yielding 2 Gunpowder.
- The benefit of this recipe is a method of farming Gunpowder that requires some setup (due to the three ingredients), doesn't rely on complex technical farms, and is peaceful-friendly!
- Sulfur Spikes were chosen as a source of Sulfur because (1) using a full block felt a little weird and (2) requiring Sulfur Spikes encourages farming Sulfur instead of quarrying the Sulfur Caves.
- Bone Meal is used as a substitute for Saltpeter/Niter, since it can be gathered from agricultural waste in real life, which in Minecraft is effectively Bone Meal.
