Idea just popped in my head... Pumpkin Bombs, sort of like Hobgoblin from Spider-Man.
So idea is you would craft it with a pumpkin and gunpowder(shapeless). To use this item you right click to lob it like a grenade. When used it'll make an explosion based in how much gunpowder you add.
You could also craft it using splash potions or lingering potions to get those effects. The effects of potions wouldn't stack, but you could put multiple potions in 1 bomb.
Example:
Regeneration II + Instant Healing II + Pumpkin=Pumpkin Bomb with Regen II and Instant Healing
Due to the complexity of this item and it's OP nature, I would make it non-stop stackable or maybe just stackable for the plain exploding types and only up to 16.
Want to cosplay Hobgoblin in Minecraft? This is for you! Wahaha!
Even the basic form of this is more powerful than a splash damage potion and way easier to get. That can kind of explain the balance issue for the idea as a whole. If it took like 4 Gunpowder and did damage around the amount of a splash damage potion without breaking blocks, and then all the extra stuff was removed it would be okay.

Perhaps limiting the amount of items to be added to pumpkins be 3, much like amount of gunpowder added to fireworks. Reducing the power of the explosion damage to that of a firework and requiring at least 1 gunpowder to craft this might make things less OP. That is the reason I said not to make it stackable.
So let's say you made one with a Healing potion and Regen, you still need gunpowder so you will take damage and heal much like arrows tipped with healing or Regen.
I do see how hitting someone with both Poison and Instant damage can seem OP. So perhaps adding a 1sec delay before they explode will make it better.
As of now it's just an idea that needs polishing as I did not think of PvP when coming up with this. Often I put PvP on the back burner as I'm not a PvP player. So I thank you for your input and will look into ways to adjust this to not be so OP.
It Is Nothing, Making you yourself a creeper, and is a comfortable crafting thing. Atleast this also makes it easy to get, as pumpkins aren't rare to get, and so are creepers. This makes no challenge, as you explode the bomb in pvp, and heals you(if you carry a healing potion). OP and Also lets you make no use of weapons, therefore no fun in minecraft, and no serious combat.

So this would make:
1. TNT redundant
2. Bows redundant
3. Swords redundant
4. Shields redundant
5. Tipped arrows redundant
6. Armor redundant
What is the point of having a sword if you can bring 27 shulker boxes filled with some magical pumpkin bomb.
Why use a bow if you can throw magical pumpking bombs with poison, instant damage, slowness and weakness.
too OP.

So even if it were a mod it'd be broken? I'd say no support for vanilla, but as a mod it could be nice.

Minecraft plus Punkin Chunkin'? I like it, it gives us a real reason to use cannons.
Yeah, for me to like this; you'd have to hit this concept with a nerf factory.
