Cheap Craftable Gunpowder
Cheap Craftable Gunpowder is a utility mod designed to streamline the acquisition of gunpowder through a high-yield crafting recipe. By moving away from a reliance on Creeper drops and mob farms, it provides a consistent method for players to produce explosives using standard world materials.
Recipe and Yield
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
Compatibility and Use Cases
This mod is particularly effective when used in conjunction with other mods that increase the demand for gunpowder.
- Ammunition Production: Provides a sustainable way to craft ammo for gun mods that require high volumes of gunpowder for cartridges and shells.
- Industrial Mining: Supports the use of TNT-heavy mining techniques and quarrying found in technical modpacks.
- Renewability: Because charcoal can be used, gunpowder becomes a fully renewable resource via tree farming, eliminating the need for complex mob-grinding infrastructure.
