Description
Bloom Blast Onion is a craftable, throwable food item that launches an explosive projectile when used and can be sneak-used to eat for instant saturation and short regeneration. Crafting a pair at a crafting table uses vanilla ingredients (including gunpowder) and gives you two Bloom Blast Onions; normal use fires a fuse/impact explosive projectile with custom sounds, action-bar feedback, and a brief cooldown while consuming one item on use. Pick it up, equip it, tap/use to throw or sneak+use to eat — perfect for mixing combat explosives with an emergency snack.
Mod Wiki
Bloom Blast Onion
Quickstart
- Gather paper, potatoes, gunpowder, and bread.
- Craft at a crafting table — you get 2 Bloom Blast Onions per craft.
- Hold a Bloom Blast Onion in your hand.
- Use (tap/right-click) to throw an explosive projectile at whatever you're aiming at.
- Sneak + Use to eat it for a quick heal instead.
Overview
Bloom Blast Onion adds a single dual-purpose item to the game: a throwable explosive that doubles as an emergency snack. Each item is consumed on use, so every throw or bite counts. The item stacks up to 16, making it practical to carry a decent supply into combat or exploration.
What It Adds
| Item | Stack Size | Primary Use | Secondary Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloom Blast Onion | 16 | Throw explosive projectile | Sneak-use to eat |
How To Use
Throwing
Hold the Bloom Blast Onion and use it (without sneaking). The onion launches a fast explosive projectile in the direction you're looking. The projectile detonates on impact — hitting a block or entity triggers the explosion immediately. If it doesn't hit anything, a built-in fuse detonates it after a short time in flight. The explosion breaks blocks in the surrounding area and deals damage. Custom sounds play both at launch and at detonation.
After throwing, there is a brief cooldown (about 1 second) before you can throw again. Your action bar will display a cooldown message if you try to throw too soon.
Eating
While sneaking, use the item to eat it instead of throwing. Eating grants:
- Saturation — immediately restores food-bar fullness
- Regeneration — a short burst of health recovery
A burp sound and action-bar message confirm the effect.
Crafting And Obtaining
One craft yields 2 Bloom Blast Onions. Stock up before heading into combat.
Abilities And Mechanics
| Mechanic | Detail |
|---|---|
| Projectile detonation | Explodes on block or entity impact; fuse backup if nothing is hit |
| Blast radius | ~3 blocks; breaks blocks, does not start fires |
| Throw cooldown | ~1 second between throws |
| Eat effects | Saturation (instant) + Regeneration (lasts ~4 seconds) |
| Item consumed | One Bloom Blast Onion is used up per throw or eat |
Progression And Strategy
- Combat opener: Throw a Bloom Blast Onion to soften a group of mobs before closing in.
- Emergency heal: If you're critically low on health and can't afford to waste a throw, sneak-eat one for a quick recovery burst.
- Resource cost vs. reward: Gunpowder is the limiting ingredient. Prioritize throws for dangerous situations and save eating for true emergencies.
- Carry multiples: The 16-item stack size means you can bring a solid reserve without filling your inventory. A stack of 16 gives you 16 throws, 16 heals, or any mix of the two.
