Dynamite Addon: Handheld Demolition

Combining explosive power with portable convenience, throwing sticks of explosives allows spelunkers to excavate tunnels and engage hostile creatures from a safe distance without setting down traditional charges.

Crafting Handheld Explosives

Crafting handheld demolition tools requires common ingredients gathered from desert terrain and nocturnal hunts. At an ordinary crafting table, combine gathered components to produce a pair of explosive charges:

• String + Sand + Gunpowder -> Dynamite x2

Creating your very first explosive charge triggers the advancement "A real bomb". The recipe yields two sticks per assembly, making it straightforward to amass a modest demolition supply before embarking on deep mining expeditions or exploring subterranean caverns.

Throwing and Demolition

Unlike standard stationary blocks that demand flint, steel, or redstone wiring to detonate, Dynamite operates as a throwable projectile. Tossing a stick toward enemy mobs or rocky surfaces provides on-demand blast coverage.

Because these sticks detonate upon impact or fuse expiration, cautious footwork prevents accidental self-inflicted harm. Carrying a supply of Dynamite transforms routine quarrying, clearing clustered stone veins and deterring pursuers in dark corridors without cumbersome preparations.
