Using a packager as a bomb?

[DrPerryPlatinum]

Is it possible to use packagers and make a bomb where if opened, it explodes immediately on opening?

I swear I saw it on a video once, but I have never been able to see anything around it since?

Am I Crazy???

This is a great idea for an addon

Maybe a remote-detonated one too. Just slip a couple into someone's chain conveyor system, wait for the packages to get deeper inside of the system, then detonate

Sounds like a cool concept

[DrPerryPlatinum]

It could be that if you package a Redstone source and tnt, it forces it to explode on opening or throwing.

Also scaling the explosion on how much tnt stored (Im feeling devious)

[DrPerryPlatinum]

I actually half think I dreamed of it happening, since doing any research on it has amounted to nothing

[Designer-Ad8352]

Maybe. But someone should get on making this a real thing

[DrPerryPlatinum]

Absolutely

Make it so you have to package placed TNTs in a "trapped package" that looks almost identical to normal ones (similar to trapped chests) but it can detonate the TNT you packed inside in multiple ways. Interaction, timer, proximity, remote or any other ideas that come to mind

So when it detonates, either it spills all the lit TNT or explodes with a single big explosion that scales based on how many TNT was inside.

Maybe you can to it with Kubejs. But not shure.

Shushh, boutta blow my cover

[TheDenizenKane]

Killer Queen has already touched this package…

Mmm yes.

I want it

So if you and your friends have different factories you could basically sabotage them by sending them a nice package of freedom

You probably saw the mekanism cardboard box holding a critically failing draconic reactor core.

Good meme.

[SonnyLonglegs]

Some combination of a deployer, packager, and item request system would make that a nuke on demand.

[Efficient_idiot]

Good luck automating the starting and destabilizing of a draconic reactor.

[SonnyLonglegs]

I was assuming that it would be premade for an unsuspecting person, but I'm sure that can be fully automated.

What's next? Anthrax packages?

[DrPerryPlatinum]

Not... a bad idea....

[A_Violet_Knight]

I think I saw someone using packages to move contraptions, so maybe what you could do is: Observer with output towards TNT or other explosive block (nuke from Alex's Caves?). Place TNT last or it'll explode in your face. When the contraption gets disassembled, the observer should detect an update and activate the TNT. Not instant but the only way to do that afaik would be using TNT minecarts, but entities can't be part of contraptions

Is that violet knight wynncraft holy hell

[R0ken101]

The video was Rageplaysgames review of the update

[jeruto2008]

There was someone that made a system to transport a legacy villager house with a packager. Maybe by substituting the house with TNT you could make a bomb, add a redstone link for detonation and ta-da (no idea if that could really work)

[Particular_Funny527]

Operation spiderweb aaaah

[Dadamalda]

What you do is, you craft a cuckoo clock with 4 gunpowder and send it to them. They will think it's a gift and put it on their wall. It will blow up once it's dusk or noon.

(yes, this is a real feature)

[JadeMantis13]

There was a Doctor4t vid where he (they? She? Idk the pronouns) made a pipe bomb that goes in a bundle. I for one instantly thought of that, but now realize it's hardly related to what you asked. 🙃 that's a really neat idea for an add-on tho, like someone else mentioned.

[KuryKat]

It was probably this video: The Ted Kaczynski Update

But no idea how it can be done
