This is my first Minecraft mod!
This mod gives players another way to obtain gunpowder without the need for Creepers.
Important: Check Gallery for Recipes
Why?
In Minecraft, there is mainly only two ways to obtain gunpowder: Creepers and Ghasts. While you can make a Creeper Farm, that's usaully an end-game/post-game player would do, when the main use for gunpowder is Rockets. It's also a rather static method for gunpowder. And Ghasts are pretty risky, given some can spwan over lava, where it can drop the gunpowder in lava. Thus, making the gunpowder for naught.
I wanted to try and give players a more dynamic way of obtaining gunpowder, and letting them explore more of the world of Minecraft. That's what this mod aims to do.
By putting a coal or charcoal in the crafting table, the coal is crushed into black powder. Black powder is a necessary component for gunpowder.

To craft gunpowder, you'll need one black powder and one blaze powder.

With this mod, you should have an easier time crafting gunpowder-related things, like TNT and rockets.
Depenencies?
None.
Can I reupload?
No reuploads.
Backport and/or Fabric version?
Depends on my free time. I'm a college student, so time is rather limited.
