Explosives

Explosives (item) are a placeable bundle of Dynamite that can be remotely activated to explode with wire. They destroy the same blocks Dynamite does, that is, all but Dungeon Bricks, Hellstone (only until the Wall of Flesh is defeated), Cobalt, Mythril and Adamantite. They can be found naturally underground in rare and dangerous traps.

The Explosives' blast radius is very wide at ten blocks, destroying up to a total of 314 blocks, and their damage is high enough to despawn killed players' dropped items and prevent retrieving them. Explosives do around 250 damage to enemies and 500 to the player. The reason for this is that dynamite is thrown by the player, so it follows the PvP rule of player attacks doing double damage to other players. With the addition of Life Fruits and being able to reach 500 maximum health, it is possible to survive this with armor.

Explosives cannot be placed on top of each other, however other blocks can be placed on them, and more Explosives can be placed on those.
