Explosives



Explosives are a placeable, consumable mechanism that can be triggered using wiring. Triggering them causes a large explosion that covers a radius of ten tiles (up to 314 blocks total), destroying most placed blocks and items (except for explosion-proof items), and inflicting around 500 damage to entities – meaning they can kill or severely damage even players with late-game gear.

Natural Explosive traps wired to Pressure Plates or can be found rarely underground, usually next to a vein of ores. Explosives can also be crafted.

Trivia

 * The death message that appears when the player is killed by naturally spawned explosives will read that they were killed by their own explosives.
