With the addition of sulfur, it would make sense to introduce a new way to craft gunpowder using renewable resources.
Currently, players in peaceful mode have no access to gunpowder, which locks them out of TNT and firework rockets. This limits progression and creativity, especially for building and Elytra travel.
I suggest adding a crafting recipe such as:
Charcoal or Coal
Sulfur
Bone Meal
→ Gunpowder
Why this works:
Fully renewable but balanced:
All ingredients are farmable, but not instantly.
Bone meal requires large-scale composting
Sulfur can be obtained slowly (e.g., via stalactite growth or similar mechanics)
Charcoal requires tree farming
Peaceful mode becomes viable:
Players can finally access TNT and fireworks without relying on hostile mobs.
Does not replace mob farms:
Creeper farms would remain faster and more efficient, preserving their value.
Fits Minecraft’s design philosophy:
Encourages automation, long-term farming, and system building rather than instant rewards.
Bone meal could represent a simplified nitrate component, making the recipe intuitive without adding unnecessary complexity.
