if explosive based items such as mines or grenades are thrown without an input chest will they detonate

They don't right now but ngl that's an enticing thought 🤔🤔🤔. Wouldn't want to turn that on right away in case people are actually transporting land mines and stuff but maybe as an option or a separate throwable explosive

glad to have sparked your interest will this mod work for 0.17 or does it use something critical in the update to function?

There's a red bounce effect from the bounce pad that is an optimized particle. Those didn't exist in 0.17 but if I took that out don't see why it wouldn't
