Description

V2.0 Note: If upgrading from earlier versions you have to replace all existing boom barrel block or use "/boom fix" and set the radius to fix nearby old boom barrels

Adds explosive barrels called Boom Barrels with health and physics!

Features:

  • Adds multiple types of Boom Barrels that are crafted in the Alchemical bench using Boom Powder and various ingredients. Types: Boom Barrel, Boom Boom Barrel, Doom Barrel!
  • Boom Barrels have physics and can be launched!
  • The Boom Barrels have their own entity-like health and can be damaged or destroyed. If the Boom barrel is low on health it will ignite the fuse and explode after 3 seconds (configurable). If it's destroyed it will instantly explode!
  • You can shoot the Boom Barrel with a bow from afar to make it explode! or just hit it with any weapon!
  • Left clicking the top of the Boom Barrel ignites the fuse that lasts 3 seconds then it explodes! (only works for the normal and mini types for now)
  • You can ignite the boom boom and doom barrels with the mini and normal barrels for now.
  • You can pick up the Boom Barrel with F when looking at the top of the barrel only (only works when looking at the top of the barrel).
  • Exploding Boom Barrels explode nearby Boom Barrels in a chain reaction.
  • Configurable explosion radius and damage values

Be careful around the Boom Barrel as one misclick might spill your Boom.
