Blast Mod (26.2, 1.20.1) – Bombs, Explosion

Blast Mod will add several new types of bombs and explosives to Minecraft, allowing you to use explosions to mine resources, dig tunnels, or fight mobs and other players.

The mod adds several types of throwable bombs: some explode after a short delay, others explode on impact. Bombs can be iron, gold, or diamond – the more expensive the bomb, the stronger the explosion. BLAST also adds a gunpowder block which, unlike TNT, explodes instantly when activated, and all gunpowder blocks within the blast radius will also detonate.

For quickly digging tunnels and mining resources, the mod adds a special type of TNT: after it explodes, a tunnel is formed in the direction the block was placed.

Features:

• BLAST bombs drop all lootable blocks they destroy.
• Items are not destroyed by explosions, but can be knocked back.
• Bombs stack up to 16 and have a 1 second cooldown outside of Creative mode.
