Gunpowder Block

The **Gunpowder Block** is a block found usually randomly when underground, it can be most commonly find in Ash Caves but can generate normally anywhere else, it is affected by Gravity, and this block is just so it can serve as a more compact way of storing gunpower, but can be used for much more.

The main purpose of this block is to make finding gunpowder easier, this is probably one of the most common Modded blocks.

## Obtaining

### Breaking

The Gunpowder Block is fairly weak, so any pickaxe or shovel will do the trick to break it, due to being a gravity affected block, torches (or any other gravity block breaker item) will break the block, using torches may be an even better method of breaking gunpowder blocks.

### Natural generation

Gunpowder Blocks generate below `Y Level 55` in every Cave biome except in Invasive Biomes (*such as the crimson and the warp*), But they're most commonly found in Ash Caves, where they compose most of the ground, generating along with Ash Blocks, they can also generate in large quantities in structures in the wasteland dimension.

They also generate in small quantities in storage rooms in the Underground Junglespore, which is where Creep Spore Cities can be found.

Gunpowder Blocks may also generate more commonly in "*dead*" biomes, such as the Wastelands and the Graveyard Skull Forest.

### Mob Drops

#### Elder Creeper

The Gunpowder Block may be dropped from the **Elder Creeper**, with a 24,5% of dropping, only 1 block will usually drop, but the Chances of it dropping increase with the help of Looting, along with the quantity also increasing

#### Creepers

The Gunpowder Block may also be dropped from **Creepers**, although with a 0,45% of dropping, only 1 block will always drop, the Chances of it dropping increase with the help of Looting, the quantity wont increase with looting though.

### Post-generation

After brushing suspicious gunpowder, the suspicious gunpowder turns into regular gunpowder.

### Chest loot

The Gunpowder Block spawns in many structures, probably making it the block that generates the most in chest loot.

### Trading

Wandering traders have 1⁄6 chance to sell A gunpowder block for 2 emeralds.

## Usage

Gunpowder Blocks can be used to allow TNT explosions underwater,

The Gunpowder Block can serve as an alternative for the gunpowder in Brewing recipes, theres no difference. It can also be used as an alternative for any other recipe the gunpowder is used in.

### Explosive Weapon

Yes, the Gunpowder Block can act as an explosive, this is because of it being highly flammable, if ignited and left on fire for a few ticks, the Gunpowder Block will burst into flames, causing any entity nearby to get ignited and having the burning debuff applied to them, this is especially useful if you want to have a explosive that causes a lot of harm but doesn't destroy any blocks.

### Trap

If a falling gunpowder block lands and covers the head of a mob or the player, the mob or player buried in it continuously receives suffocation damage. If falling gunpowder block lands in the space occupied by a non-solid block (such as torch, rail, or redstone dust) or a block less than a full block tall (such as slab or soul sand), the gunpowder block breaks and drops 4 gunpowder. If it falls onto a cobweb, it falls slowly until it has gone through completely; if it touches the ground while still inside the cobweb, the gunpowder block actually breaks and drops itself. falling gunpowder blocks that fall onto a lifting bubble column floats on top of the water until the bubble column is blocked or removed.

### Hatching

Creeper Eggs will only hatch if they're on top of a Gunpowder Block

### Crafting ingredient

*It can also be used as an alternative for any other recipe the gunpowder is used in.*

## Falling Gunpowder Block

### Environment

When Gunpowder Block doesn't have a block below it

## Effect

### Effect Duration

Until Player destroys the Block

Falling Gunpowder Block are non-living entities, they spawn into the world once the gunpowder block detects that it doesn't have a block below it, which in turn destroys the Gunpowder Block and then summons the Falling counterpart of the block.

### Behaviour

As already said, they generate into the world once the gunpowder block detects it doesn't have a block below it, when Falling Gunpowder Blocks come in contact with another block, it will despawn the Falling Gunpowder Block, which will then generate a normal Gunpowder Block in place.

If a falling gunpowder block lands and covers the head of a mob or the player, the mob or player buried in it continuously receives suffocation damage. If falling gunpowder block lands in the space occupied by a non-solid block (such as torch, rail, or redstone dust) or a block less than a full block tall (such as slab or soul sand), the gunpowder block breaks and drops 4 gunpowder. If it falls onto a cobweb, it falls slowly until it has gone through completely; if it touches the ground while still inside the cobweb, the gunpowder block actually breaks and drops itself. falling gunpowder blocks that fall onto a lifting bubble column floats on top of the water until the bubble column is blocked or removed.

Falling Gunpowder Block allows TNT to explode underwater

## Trivia

* Because falling gunpowder block is considered an entity, it can be launched in a TNT cannon, similar to an ignited piece of TNT.
* If a player is standing on a stack of sand, gunpowder blocks or gravel, and the stack falls onto a non-solid block, the player can fall fast enough to take damage or even die.
* Gunpowder Blocks are the only Non-Explosive blocks that can actually act as explosives (*or really, just explode in general*).
* Gunpowder Blocks, Sand and gravel take about 0.45 seconds to fall one meter.
* due to having a very similiar texture to sand, the texture of the Gunpowder Block is rotated if a block of gunpowder turns into a `falling_block` entity
* Because `falling_block` is considered an entity, blocks of gunpowder without supports may disappear for a split second and a `falling_block` entity is summoned. This is also the case when it is landing, but the entity (not the block) disappears instead before a block is placed.
* Gunpowder Block is the block that appears the most in Chest Loot
	+ It is also the most common Block in Crates and Pots
* On April Fools, on the "Perfect" Seed, at exactly `X = 5,411` `Z = 5,411` `Y = 64` an entire chunk will be replaced with just gunpowder blocks, breaking one of those blocks summon the infamous *Big Boy Gunpowderious Ultimate The IV*
