Throwable Bombs

Throwable Bombs turns certain Firework Stars into dangerous tools. When the right Firework Star is thrown as a singular item (will be ignored if stacked), the Firework Star will begin hissing and trigger its effect upon hitting a block. However, it will fizzle out and stop functioning in water.

The type of bomb is determined by the Explosion type of the Firework Star. All bomb types have a shapeless crafting recipe, consisting of at least:

• Any dye(s) of choice; at least one dye is necessary to craft a Firework Star. The color, amount of dyes, and amount of gunpowder used to create the Star do not affect the bomb type.

• Gunpowder.

• Glowstone Dust. This will apply the "Twinkle" effect, which is required for a Firework Star to turn into a Throwable Bomb.

• Optional: An item of choice (see below) to determine the bomb type. If no type is given, it defaults to a Smoke Bomb.

Admins may enable or disable any specific bomb types through the config command.

Bomb Types

• Smoke Bombs: Upon impact, gives all players within the radius Blindness and emits a smoke screen for 5 seconds that obscures vision. Only the players within immediate radius upon impact are given Blindness, so players (including the thrower) can enter the smoke screen afterwards without being blinded. In addition, the Smoke Bomb can be conserved if picked up before the smoke screen duration ends. Craft with no item to create (Small Ball Explosion).

• Fire Bombs: Upon impact, sets nearby blocks on fire. Craft with a Fire Charge to create (Large Ball Explosion).

• Redstone Bombs: Upon impact, fries Redstone circuitry by breaking Redstone Dust, Redstone Torches, Redstone Repeaters, and Redstone Comparators within a small radius. For example, most piston doors are on by default, and turned off to retract the doors. Using this item nearby a door will force it to open as the circuitry is broken. This can also be used to disable Redstone traps. Craft with a Gold Nugget to create (Star-Shaped Explosion).

• Blast Bombs: Upon impact, creates a high knockback explosion that does not damage mobs or the environment, which can be useful for displacement or traversal. Craft with a Feather to create (Burst Explosion).

• Potato Bombs: Fondly named after a Native American nickname, these bombs explode on impact. Craft with any player or mob head to create (Creeper-Shaped Explosion).
