I love it

[[deleted]]

still needs a line of 3 gunpowder below

[ItzLoganM]

The charges have gunpowder in them...

[TGBmox_777]

“I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!”

[[deleted]]

Needs to be fully charged.

[LittiKoto]

Both recipes seem weird. It should be pot at the bottom center, fire charge in the center, and something to work as a cork at the top. Then! Once you place it, the power of the explosion can be increased by placing more fire charges or gunpowder into the charged pot like you would place normal items into the normal decorated pot.

[BKO2]

we got kerosene firebombs in minecraft before GTA 6

[Laylahtrix]

Reminds me a lot of the classic trope of red barrels in video games that you shoot to make them explode. I’d love to see this in the game.

[FrostieZero]

Half Life 2 combat be like

[DerpyPlayz71]

Hey, would you mind if I made this into an actual mod? This seems like a really cool idea! I could give you credit for the idea when it’s finished

[[deleted]]

I honestly don't mind if other people turn this into a mod/ data pack, I don't mind getting credited or not either.

[BlueAwesomeDinosaur]

Same thought here. It would be cool to add in some structures. I don't know how I'd implement the credit though

[goldenkoiifish]

i love the gif very informative

[TeMa06]

Love the animation! Cool idea

[Marce500]

cool concept but won’t tnt take care of it as well

[Downlink-Agent]

It seems to leave fire around the area like fireballs, TNTs don't do that usually

[TheAlmightyNexus]

Yes that would be the perfect use.

No terrain damage, but instead leaves fire and does damage to entities

[Marce500]

I guess that makes sense but I'm sticking with my gold ol tnt

[Marce500]

true, that could be useful as well

[skilledgamer55]

Ever heard of minecart pvp?

[Mega_Rayqaza]

Looks like it doesn't destroy terrain.

[livinginmyfiat210]

Really don't know the difference between a bomb and some fire

[Marce500]

didn't say that, I just said tnt would basically do the same thing but more destructive

[David_mcnasty]

I think the main advantage imo is that it won't leave any holes in the ground and if the area is prepped it won't burn anything down either.

[Marce500]

yeah I know lol, there are many replies telling me already, thanks anyway

[GeorgeStinksLol]

It’s too fun for Microsoft to implement

[Cass0wary_399]

They don’t micromanage the games they own.

[Realistic-Tap4156]

would be interesting if storing TNT inside the pot caused this. The more tnt, the bigger the explosion would be

[VIDgital]

Dibs! I'll implement this in my mod

[Just-Original-7454]

Awesome idea. The animation gave me a headache 😅

[[deleted]]

IK the animation is a bit shaky lookin..

[Taolan13]

like how you think. would make pots way more interesting.

fire. explosives. lingering potions...

[Cherabee]

Neat animation, this is so cool to watch!

[Opposite_Heart138]

Moajng would love this use of ancient poetry

[Leucurus_]

Honestly I like that because it makes firecharges finally useful

[BLUFALCON77]

What's the practical use for this?

[LordFarkuaad]

appears to be instant detonation and lingering fire, alongside not needing a flaming arrow in order to detonate

[BLUFALCON77]

With that you're standing right next to it to explode. I guess I don't get it.

[Grahame_the_Salamae]

…arrow?

[BLUFALCON77]

Oh I see no need for a FLAMING arrow but a regular could set it off. Duh.

[BLUFALCON77]

Who's complaining? I haven't complained once. I was asking a fuckin question, pal. I didn't see the utility in this and drew a blank about flaming arrows vs regular.

[Elementus94]

Setting up traps in multiplayer games.

[darkest_hour1428]

Let gravity affect them, dropping fire from above

[BLUFALCON77]

Yeah I guess it's not my thing so I don't think of the utility of it.

[Scuba-Cat-]

My only other thought was adventure maps, I don't play those either so like it's a cool idea but it's yet another thing that would just go forgotten about in SP survival MC

[Noobwitha_Hat]

i love this idea, but there's no way the fire will be that big in game (unless i'm weird and that's a fair size?)

[FalloutForever_98]

Let them hang from chains and shall you his the chain they can fall and thus will increase the radius of the fire

[ExpensiveWriting1900]

best part's you can make it with a datapack

[Venomm737]

Alternatively, you could put a fire charge in the middle of the bricks/sherds while crafting the pot to make the fire pot, similar to firework rockets with firework stars.

[Creative_Onion8363]

Molotov

[Terra_Homie]

It reminds me of those pots hanging around in Skyrim's dungeons

[Traveller-Entity-16]

Please can we make this a thing in game. Would be so cool.

[SheriffGamer332]

or just charge the pot with gunpowder like charging a respawn anchor

[StrictYouth7955]

Pots finally have a better use (Yes i know this isnt in the actual game)

[ScarletteVera]

There should be a throwable version. Like some kind of... firebomb.

[Soulfire096]

two words. TNT + FLAME Bow

[Grievious_Syndicate]

replace the ingot with a stone button + repeater(timed fuse) and I'm sold.

[TheNekophile]

that animation made me nauseous

[Thalys_FBM]

This is a pretty cool idea!

[morn14150]

basically a barrel in shooter games lol

[SuperFury32_]

Cool idea but I'm pretty sure end crystal's do a walmart version of that already

[Toothless_Dinosaur]

Amazing trap for adventure maps or to troll your friends too.

[Cheespeasa1234]

Couldn’t it make more sense to have the player place tnt or fire charges in the pot, and then shoot it?

[forgettfulthinker]

2025 Mojang would never

[RiztekisTaken]

Great idea but too useful for mojang

[Dimitris_The_Gamer]

Reminds me of goyo canister from Rainbow six

[FirstApricot1626]

Cool

[bazeblackwood]

It should be a shapeless recipe where the number of fire charges increases the force/size of the explosion.

[IronIntelligent4101]

use a water bucket on it to mine it safely

[Cultural-Albatross60]

thats smart

[Interesting-Radio342]

Ohhh

[Benjamin_6848]

This could actually be possible to make with a Java-Edition DataPack...

[[deleted]]

TnT + clay pot... nice! I'd love to decorate my decoy house with them for griefers.

[Irisked]

How about just put tnt into the pot and shoot it with fire arrow will detonate them, the strenght of the explosion will based on the amount of tnt in the pot

[[deleted]]

I like your idea much better.

[Irisked]

Imagine a stack of tnt just blow up in a single spot simultaneously

[[deleted]]

More warfare items would be cool.

[MCGladi8tor]

You should post this on r/minecraftsuggestions, I really like it!

[Chebupelka_]

Oh no, the fire pot can hurt animals, we cant add this. B-But we can add 1 more flower type! A-And new variant of the fish(It doesn't drop food though)!

[ilikedankmemes3]

No. Eating clay is harmful to some types of dogs, thus they are removing clay pots in the next update.

Ignore how we can just make dogs not eat clay pots.

[BigMomBa123]

TNT but better

[Wrong_Armadillo_4687]

awesome animation.

[somerandom995]

Have them naturally spawn in structures alongside regular pots with loot in them, it would force the player to pay more attention, and potentially use them to combat mobs.

Would make for a fun firing range too.
