Blast Rod

This mod adds a single block, the blast rod, that breaks every movable block is pushed into.

A blast rod can only break blocks that a piston can move, and only if the direction it is pushed is the same as it is facing, that is the opposite of where the iron part is.

However, a blast rod doesn't need to be directly pushed by a piston, there may be other blocks from between the blast rod and the piston.

An overly complicated contraption to break a cobblestone block with a blast rod.

Recipe

From up to bottom in a vertical line, two blaze rods and an iron ingot.

You can place the ingredients in any column of the 3x3 Crafting Table grid.

Compatibility

This mod heavily edits the algorithm that calculates which blocks are pushed (or pulled) by a piston, and so it is incompatible with other mods that edit or interact with the same algorithm.

For instance, mods that change the number of blocks a piston can push (or pull).
