But not too much.
TNT is a bit underwhelming at the moment. We can make it a bit
more interesting by ejecting not just one or two itemstacks,
but a bunch of them. This code splits up the drops into
separate itemstacks that are 2-5 items together, which
results in generally roughly 10 itemstacks being ejected.
Since now we have multiple ejecta, it makes sense to tune
the ejecta velocities a bit better to get the appearance of
an actual explosion better. The items will not all start
with the same vertical velocity, since that would look
like fireworks. Instead we give them all a different vertical
speed.
If the node is special and has an on_blast() handler, we need
to call it instead of getting node drops manually. However, we
do want to know if drops should be added for the special nodes,
so we modify the on_blast() handler code to allow the nodedef
handlers to pass back itemstacks. This could be used by e.g.
the doors mod to drop door items after a blast.
Since this API is documented in lua_api.txt, a separate PR will
be incoming to update the on_blast() documentation.
By adding the timer to the tnt:tnt_burning node it will help mods add the block and cause an explosion after 4 seconds instead of doing nothing like in it's current state.
Spread ABM intervals evenly across 1 to 16 seconds
16s ensures no nodes are missed when player walks past
Adjust chance values to compensate, for identical action rates
Combine lavacooling ABMs into one, return to chance = 1
Grass growth: add 'neighbors = "air"' to avoid
processing the thousands of underground dirt nodes
Grass death: Reduce action rate to that of grass growth
Fire: Use chance = 1 for flame extinguishing
and flame removal when mod is disabled
