Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.18.1–1.18.2Newest
Minecraft 1.17–1.17.1
Minecraft 1.16–1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.18.1–1.18.2 ⬇ Download for 1.17–1.17.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16–1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This is a fabric mod and won't work with forge. Requires Anvil Crushing Recipes to work.

This mod lets you farm gunpowder without needing a creeper farm. I tried to make the process have some sort of sense, but still be simple.

Step 1:
Craft a charcoal block

Step 2:
Crush it with an anvil (tip: if you don't want to completely ruin the anvil, only make it fall 1 block)

Step 3:
Mine it. It will drop 1-2 crushed charcoal

Step 4:
Put it in water. It will turn into mill cake.

Step 5:
Let it dry for 10 seconds and it'll turn into 2 gunpowder

And that's it! You've successfully turned 9 charcoal into 2 or 4 gunpowder.
