- Flaming debris can be spread far from the initial explosion.
- Their explosive power is 50, less than a small gunpowder keg so are not very effective against stone and other hard materials.
- They will scare animals, especially birds, from the area.
- It can be used to mine hard materials such as stone. However, using bombs against stone or blocks with high explosion resistance will usually prove ineffective.
- It is better to use this against soft materials rather than hard materials such as stone.
- Successful mining explosions only drop about 75% of the blocks.
