The Explosive Force and Damage of Gunpowder Kegs

I'd like to start out by mentioning that Stanimus on the SC Wiki added all of this info. He conducted a series of experiments to conclude the minimum safe distance when using kegs.

Explosive Power of each keg as listed in the Recipaedia:

• Small - 60
• Medium - 240
• Large - 960

Minimum distance you can stand from the kegs without acquiring damage [From Stanimus's experiments]:

• Small - 8 Blocks 
• Medium - 12 Blocks
• Large - 16 Blocks

Blast Range [Max distance where is player is immediately killed]:

• Small - 6 Blocks
• Medium - 10 Blocks
• Large - 14 Blocks

There are a number of ways you can receive damage from Gunpowder Kegs. You can be killed from the force, hit with debris, or set afire with flaming debris.

I hope this helps everyone out when using Gunpowder Kegs ;)
