- Several mods add different types of explosive blocks, usually based to some extent on vanilla TNT.
- Vanilla TNT was given the ability to activate on being dispensed through a dispenser way back in Minecraft 1.5
- No mod I've found that adds extra explosive types has done the same with their explosive type.

IC2 nuke, industrial TNT, all the hilarious varieties added by [whichever mod from voltz that adds dozens of increasingly silly explosives], none of them will activate when you dispense them and the documentation on fuse length is really bad.

It makes building modded cannon designs oldschool and clunky. Is it too much to ask that I can have a nice dispenser cannon launching nukes at random landmarks?

The mod in voltz (ICBM) allows you to turn any of its explosives into missiles which cannbe fired on exact coordinates any time you wish and can change coordinates at will

Yeah, I guess I can give it a pass for exactly that reason, but I still like the idea of a massive shotgun TNT cannon with nukes :P

Meh, I have a bank of robots and missiles wired up to fire red matter and antimatter at the same time to kill any survivors. And if they survive THAT I use robots, teleporters, andmgolems
