Blastscale Blossoms are a new Sniffer Plant introduced by Antiquity. They're a parasitic plant which has explosive effects when eaten.

Obtaining

Blastscale Blossoms can be dug up by Sniffers. They have a 16.67% chance to be retrieved, like all other Sniffer Seeds.

Upon obtaining the seed, the player can plant the seed on a Cactus to let it grow. Blastscale Blossoms grow based off a Random Tick, and therefore have no defined growing time. Their growth may be accelerated through the use of Bone Meal. Upon harvesting a fully matured Blastscale Blossoms, the cactus which the blossom grew off of will burst and be converted in Blastscale Fruits. Hence, the player needs plenty of cacti to be able to effectively farm these plants.

Usage

Eating

Blastscale Fruits can be eaten to restore 5 Hunger Points and 5 Saturation Points. However, upon consumption the player will receive moderate explosion damage and be launched into the air. The player which consumed the fruit will receive the least damage, with surrounding entities taking heavier damage from the explosion caused by the fruit.

Blastscale Dynamite

If you have enough Dynamite Sticks and Blastscale Fruit to spare, you could make yourself Blastscale Dynamite Sticks. These green dynamite sticks deal much heavier damage than their default form, but are heavier and have a 1-second explosion delay before exploding. You must time your attacks carefully.
