Crimson Fuseball

Quickstart

Craft a Crimson Fuseball, hold it, and use your normal item-use control to throw it. Once it hits something, its 3-second fuse starts. Get close and retrieve it before the fuse runs out to use it again.

Overview

The Crimson Fuseball is a throwable, reusable explosive. It flies forward, then detonates shortly after impact if you don’t reclaim it in time.

Crafting And Obtaining

Make one at a crafting table with one of each ingredient:

The ingredients are a slime ball, gunpowder, fire charge, and red dye. Crimson Fuseballs stack up to 16.

Abilities And Mechanics

• The fuse starts when the thrown ball hits something.
• It detonates 3 seconds after impact, with a small blast that causes no fire.
• Block damage follows the world’s griefing rules.
• Retrieve the ball before detonation to reuse it.

Progression And Strategy

Try throwing the Fuseball at a nearby surface first so you can see where it lands and practice reclaiming it before the fuse expires. Keep your escape route clear when testing it around blocks or other creatures.
