Nova Catalyst & Cataclysm

Applies to Equivalent Legacy 1.1.0+ for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).

Nova explosives are enormous, clean blasts that gather all the drops for you.

How to get them:

  • Nova Catalyst: shapeless TNT + Mobius Fuel, makes 2.
  • Nova Cataclysm: shapeless Nova Catalyst + Aeternalis Fuel, makes 2.

Using them: light them like TNT. The Catalyst has a blast radius of 16, the Cataclysm 48.

Hidden abilities

  • The blast does not create fire, so it will not burn down your base.
  • Every block destroyed drops its loot, and all the drops are gathered and released together at the position of whoever lit the charge, instead of being scattered across the crater.
  • The fuse is four times shorter than vanilla TNT, so you have about one second to get clear.
  • Dispensers can fire both types.
  • The Cataclysm is a great mining tool when you need a large area cleared quickly, and its gathered drops make cleanup easy.

Server settings: none specific.
