Erebite infused items don't seem to react (explode)

[Natsumehack]

Erebite items explode only if they hit a dense object, like a window, or a mob wearing erebite armor. I know this from experience.

Or the floor, I once threw erebite at a floor it exploded.

But then again I have also seen people punching each other with erebite mix gloves and making people not wearing armor explode.

But that's not the people exploding, that's their gloves exploding! And yes, sometimes thrown erebite items explode. Randomly.

By that same logic the shovel should explode, which it didn't for OP.
