Description

Placeable Gunpowder (Forge / Fabric / NeoForge)


Overview

Placeable Gunpowder brings a simple but iconic mechanic to modern Minecraft, allowing gunpowder to be placed directly in the world as a trail, similar to redstone dust.

Once ignited, the trail burns and triggers a chain reaction, making it useful for traps, explosions, and creative setups.

This mod recreates the classic functionality of older placeable gunpowder-style mods while making it fully compatible with modern versions across Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge.

  • Creates trails similar to redstone dust
