Useable Dynamite

🧨 Useable Dynamite

Version 2.0.0 — dynamite is a real item now. Hold it, pocket it, throw it unlit, and light it when you want.

Vanilla sticks light themselves the second they are near a player. This mod stops that for loot and held sticks. Primary finish-cast lights the fuse. Naturally spawned mesa hazard sticks still auto-light when someone walks too close.

Use ModConfig if you want to tweak fuse / blast / VFX live!

Find the mod in the Peak Modding Discord under #mod-releases for issues, reports, or thanks.

💡 How it works

• ✋ Held / inventory dynamite stays unlit until you finish a primary cast (default hold 0.4s, or instant if you set that to 0)
• 🎒 Pockets and backpacks work like a normal item. Pocketing a lit stick snuffs it (configurable)
• 🌵 Mesa hazard sticks still auto-light in their wick radius. Config radius is in meters
• 💣 A lit stick in your hand will still cook you and explode if you hang onto it
• 🧹 Default orb reduction and optional smoke fade help FPS; huge range / visual scale does the opposite

The old fuse-suppress loop is gone. No more fighting the wick every frame.

👥 Who needs the mod

The host must have it or everyone plays vanilla dynamite (self-lights when held).

• Host sends a handshake + gameplay config (Photon 167)
• Clients with the mod use the host's fuse / blast / pocket / throw rules
• VFX and audio stay local (orbs, smoke fade, sparks, mute, volume, visual scale)
• If the host does not have the mod, clients keep vanilla item rules but can still use their own performance VFX
• Guests without the mod cannot pocket or primary-light even if the host has it — they should install it too

🎮 Using it

• Pick up dynamite (loot, luggage mods, whatever)
• Carry it around. It will not light just because you are holding it
• Hold primary to light the fuse, then throw it or run
• Pocket it to snuff a lit stick (default). Config chooses whether the wick resets to full or keeps what was left

Walk up to a mesa stick in the world and it still lights itself. That is the hazard, not your loot.
