CWSM: Formidi Bomb Overhaul

What if the Formidi Bomb took over Cracker’s Wither Storm Mod?

I made this project because the scene in Minecraft: Story Mode where Jesse nearly gets killed by the Formidi Bomb always made me mad. Instead of going to a rage room and imagining myself beating Soren up for it, I decided to turn that frustration into a Minecraft project.

The result is CWSM: Formidi Bomb Overhaul — a resource pack and datapack that transforms a large part of Cracker’s Wither Storm Mod into a purple, Formidi-Bomb-themed experience.

I also got inspiration for the idea from Witherzilla Storm.

💥 WHY DOES THIS EXIST?

Jesse almost getting blown up by the Formidi Bomb annoyed me enough that I wanted to do something with that frustration.

So rather than a rage room, I made this.

Now the Formidi Bomb gets to take over CWSM instead.

Consider it my Minecraft way of getting revenge on Soren. 😂

💜 INSPIRATION

The original idea was inspired in part by Witherzilla Storm, which showed me how much fun it can be to dramatically change the look and feel of the Wither Storm experience.

CWSM: Formidi Bomb Overhaul is my own Formidi Bomb-themed take on that idea.
