Hello,

I am Naravolian, and this is the first blog in a new series I have named Map making for newbies. In this blog post I am going to show you a brand new type of throwable bomb! Do not worry, it is very simple and easy to make.

If you have any questions please leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Information

Usually you would have to summon a primed tnt and tp it to an entity like an arrow or snowball in order to make a throwable bomb. Not anymore.


The throwable bombs that have been showcased by many people is a very good concept, but it has some problems. Unless you are a command block-expert the bomb would damage and destroy blocks, but leave entities like pigs or zombies unharmed.


This bomb does not destroy blocks, and it kills entities inside a configurable radius, including players.

List of commands:

> testfor @e[type=Item] {Item:{id:"minecraft:fire_charge"}}

> particle explode ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1 0.5 1000 @e[type=Item] {Item:{id:"minecraft:fire_charge"}}

> execute @e[type=Item] ~ ~ ~ playsound random.explode @a

> execute @e[type=Item] ~ ~ ~ summon FallingSand ~ ~3 ~ {TileID:51,Time:1}

> execute @e[type=Item] ~ ~ ~ kill @e[type=!FallingSand,r=5]
