Explosive ingredients

File: config/fletchingrecipe-explosive-ingredient.json

This file lists the items that fit in the table's explosive slot, and how strong an explosion each one gives an explosive arrow.

Format

One JSON object. Each key is an item id and each value is the item's explosion value:

{
  "minecraft:tnt": 2.0,
  "minecraft:fire_charge": 4.0,
  "minecraft:gunpowder": 0.5
}

Part	Type	Meaning
Key	Item id	An item that can go in the explosive slot. Any item works.
Value	Number	Explosion power of a critical arrow made with it. Other shots get half. Decimals are allowed.

Ids that are not valid, or that name an item that does not exist, are skipped. The game log says which ones with a line starting [Explosive Ingredient Config].

Items from other mods

The file is first read while mods are still loading, so items from other mods can be reported as not found at startup. Save the file again once the game has loaded and they are picked up.

Default values

Ingredient	Value	Power, fully drawn	Power, other shots
Gunpowder	0.5	0.5	0.25
TNT	2	2	1
Fire Charge	4	4	2

For scale, vanilla explosions have these powers:

Explosion	Power
Ghast fireball	1
Creeper	3
TNT	4
Bed in the Nether	5
End crystal	6

Generator

Explosive ingredients

Save asconfig/fletchingrecipe-explosive-ingredient.json

{
    "minecraft:tnt": 2,
    "minecraft:fire_charge": 4,
    "minecraft:gunpowder": 0.5
}

Replace the whole file. Give players the same file as the server, so the slot and JEI accept the same items.

Changing the file

• The file is read when the game starts. While the game is running, saving the file reloads it.
• On a server, give players the same file. The slot on their screen and the JEI pages use their own copy.
• In single player, the file stops being watched after you leave a world. Restart the game to apply later changes.

Removing an ingredient

Explosive arrows remember their ingredient. Before removing an item from this file, use up or throw away the explosive arrows made with it: when such an arrow hits something, the game looks up a value that is no longer there.
