Explosives

Explosives are a placeable, consumable Mechanism that can be detonated using wire. Detonation 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 either kill or very severely damage players even with full Crystal Hearts and full Life Fruit, making them extremely dangerous even to post-Plantera players. They can rarely be found underground in a pressure plate trap or with a Detonator and a large sum of ore, and can be crafted.
