Gunpowder

Gunpowder, formerly known as Sulphur, is an item that can be obtained by killing Creepers, Ghasts or looting dungeon chests.

Uses
Gunpowder is used to craft TNT and Fire Charges, and can be brewed with any potion to make a Splash Potion. Fire Charges were added in snapshot 12w04a, and has the same properties as flint and steel, except if launched from a dispenser.

Placing
Although it might have the look of Redstone, Gunpowder cannot be placed on the ground as a wire.

History
In Indev, mob drops were randomized, so when a Pig was killed it could drop gunpowder instead of [[Raw Porkchop|Pork].

In Beta 1.0, Gunpowder was renamed Sulphur, but reverted to its original term in Beta 1.3.

In Beta 1.9 pre-release 4, gunpowder was made usable in brewing to create Splash Potions.
