Barrel Bombs

Your New Favorite Excavation Tool: The Barrel Bomb!

Inspired by u/-C-7007’s idea from r/MinecraftSuggestions

Requires the Architectury API

⚠️ The Big Tradeoff

Worried the Barrel Bomb might be overpowered? Fear not – it comes with a serious drawback: \
it drops very few items (Configurable).
It will never drop stone or ancient debris (Configurable)

💥 Key Features

Consistent Explosions: More reliable than TNT, and it laughs in the face of gravity.

Blast Resistance? Denied. Ignores most blast resistance, making it perfect for tough biomes, such as Basalt Deltas. (Configurable)

Directional Blasts: The explosion extends forward based on the direction the barrel is facing. Even chain reactions preserve each individual bomb’s direction.

Customizable Power:

Add Blaze Powder to extend the forward range of the explosion

Add Gunpowder to increase the blast radius

Max of 32 additives per barrel (also configurable)

Smart Placement:

Faces away from you when placed

Hold Shift to make it face toward you instead

Efficient Additive Use:

Additives can be inserted one at a time with right-click

Or put the item in your offhand to use an entire stack instantly

Deals less damage to players than TNT

Obsidian and other “player” blocks (Such as chests or beds) are immune by default (fully configurable)
