Description (From Recipaedia)
Gunpowder is a substance capable of burning in an oxygenless environment because it contains its own source of oxygen, saltpeter. When burning, gunpowder emits large amounts of hot gases. Will explode with devastating force if confined in a small volume, such as a keg, and ignited.
Crafting
Gunpowder is made from combining coal, sulfur and saltpeter (chunks). You get three chunks of gunpowder.
Use
- Gunpowder is used in the making of gunpowder kegs, explosive bolts, bombs and fireworks.
- It is also used to fire the musket and set up ammunition.
- It is found in the section of the Recipaedia.
- It may be thrown for minor damage. To deal major damage, throw it in a campfire or use it. You can do the same thing as heating up gunpowder in a furnace.
- If a chunk of Gunpowder is put inside a Furnace and heated, or if it is used or thrown in a campfire, the gunpowder chunk itself will explode.
