Tired of killing creepers for small amounts of gunpowder? Dislike mob farms? Want to blow things up but gunpowder is expensive? Wish you could craft it in Vanilla?
Now you can! In a scientific way. Craft gunpowder from 3 ingredients: 6 parts nitrogen-high fertilizer (Bone Meal), 2 parts stabilized carbon source (Charcoal) and 1 part Sulfur.
Sulfur is a new item. You can get it by smelting Magma or Glowstone blocks in a Blast Furnace.
This mod is designed to work on Fabric servers without its players downloading anything.
