Craftable Gunpowder Recipe Mod FAQ

Gather redstone dust, glowstone dust, flint, and either coal or charcoal, then place all four items anywhere in your crafting grid (inventory or crafting table). The order doesn't matter—you'll get gunpowder as output.

Yes, charcoal works as a substitute for coal in the gunpowder recipe. You can make charcoal by smelting wood logs in a furnace if you don't have coal nearby.

Check your crafting output when you place the four ingredients together to see the exact amount produced.

No, this mod lets you craft gunpowder entirely from materials found while mining and exploring, so you can skip mob hunting if you prefer.
