Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

Now you can mine Gunpowder!

Have you ever felt like you needed lots of gunpowder but you didn't want to farm creepers?

Now, by using this mod, a gunpowder ore will spawn in your world in a similar way to coal and lapis.

This ore only spawns in the Overworld on Stone and Deepstone layers.

The drops are affected by fortune and give XP.
