Cheap Craftable Gunpowder
Cheap Craftable Gunpowder is a utility mod designed to make getting gunpowder easier through a high-yield crafting recipe. By making gunpowder craftable it reduces the need for mob farms, and it provides a consistent method for players to produce explosives using common materials.
Recipe
The mod introduces a shapeless recipe that utilizes common carbon sources and mineral bases. Combining these ingredients produces a significant return, making it easier to stockpile resources for large projects.
- Ingredients: 1x Coal or Charcoal + 1x Sand or Gravel
- Output: 4x Gunpowder
