Blunderbombs

Blunderbombs, in Minecraft!

Have your ever wanted to Blunderbomb your crewmates beyond the Shroud?

The _Blunderbombs_ mod adds Sea-of-Thieves-inspired chaotic throwables to Minecraft. Upon hitting something, they emit a painful shockwave that sends nearby players and mobs flying!

Description

The mod provides two craftable items: a “Blunderbomb” (painful shockwave) and “Blunderwhiff” (harmless shockwave). The knockback from both can be countered effectively with Blast Protection.

The Blunderbomb

A _Blunderbomb_ deals 1-3 hearts of explosive damage to all nearby players and mobs, depending on how close they are to the blast. On a direct hit, up to 5 total hearts of damage will be dealt (the remainder is dealt as projectile damage).

A modest shockwave will also send players, mobs, and other entities flying! You may find some unexpected uses for this, perhaps?

The Blunderwhiff (Harmless Blunderbomb)

The _Blunderwhiff_ deals no damage, but will still knock back entities with a modest shockwave. Unlike a _Blunderbomb_ through, the knockback will not apply to the player that throws it.

On friendly community servers, you may wish to disable the _Blunderbomb_ recipe and leave only _Blunderwhiff_ as craftable — this is still plenty of fun, but remember fall damage still exists!

FAQ

_Will you add Firebombs?_

I’m undecided! Express your interest in this issue on GitHub if you’d like to see this, or join the Discord and let us know there!

_Can I use this in my modpack?_

Currently, no. However, open-source versions of this mod will be permitted in modpacks! This project aims to be open-sourced by the end of 2023.

_Can you add Dispenser functionality for traps?_

Absolutely! This is a planned feature for the open-source release by the end of 2023.

_Can you backport to ?_

While I aim to support future Minecraft versions, it’s hard to justify supporting much older ones. I can be convinced but there’s no promises, sorry.
