Bomb

Bombs are explosives which can be obtained from the Demolitionist, Pots, Chests, or by powering Bomb Statues. They can be used as a mining tool or a weapon. When used, it is thrown a few blocks away from the player and rolls if the terrain allows it. After 3 seconds, it will explode, inflicting 100 points of damage to nearby mobs (it doesn't collide with them) and destroying a few blocks around it. The player can also inflict harm to themselves if not careful. If the player is caught in the explosion of their own bomb, it will count as a PvP attack and deal 200 damage. Bombs can destroy almost any block, exceptions being Dungeon Bricks, Cobalt, Mythril, Adamantite, Hellstone (before defeating the Wall of Flesh), Demon Altars, and any type of Chest (including Barrels and Trash Cans). It can also be thrown through one block thick walls, like a Boomerang.
