Provides a reliable source of gunpowder for bullet manufacturing in zombie-themed modpacks by implementing smelting recipes that convert coal into gunpowder, especially when creeper drops are limited.
Coal to Gunpowder is a lightweight utility mod that introduces balanced smelting recipes to transform common resources like Coal and Charcoal into the valuable resource, Gunpowder. It is specifically designed to address resource scarcity in challenging modpacks, such as zombie apocalypse or hardcore survival scenarios, where obtaining Gunpowder through traditional means (like defeating Creepers) can be exceptionally difficult or impossible.

.jar file for this mod..jar file into your Minecraft instance's mods folder. (Typically found in %appdata%\.minecraft\mods on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods on Mac)..jar file into the server's mods folder and restart the server.Q: Is this mod compatible with other mods that add new types of coal?
A: By default, the mod only adds recipes for the vanilla Minecraft items minecraft:coal and minecraft:charcoal. Support for coal from other mods is not automatic but can be easily added by modpack developers using standard Minecraft data packs.
Q: Can I change the smelting time or the amount of Gunpowder produced?
A: Not through an in-game configuration menu in the current version. However, the recipes are implemented as standard data pack recipes. Advanced users or modpack authors can easily customize the output, experience, and cooking time by creating a simple data pack that overrides this mod's recipe files.
Q: Does this work with automation mods like Create or Immersive Engineering?
A: Yes! Since the mod uses the vanilla furnace system, any machine or automation system that can interact with a furnace (e.g., inserting items, extracting results) will work seamlessly with these new recipes.
Enjoy a more manageable and logical survival experience with Coal to Gunpowder!
