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 in caves as parts of very dangerous traps.

Use caution when detonating, as the blast radius is equal to ten blocks. The explosion will leave a crater much larger than throwable explosives, and can destroy up to a total of 200 blocks--enough to despawn killed players' dropped items and prevent getting them back. interestingly, explosives can not be stacked on top of each other. however, any other block placed on top of the explosives will enable placing of more explosives upon this layer.
