Uses

Composition C-4 replaces semtex it the majority of its recipes, making it a much cheaper and simpler option than semtex. The only exceptions are the demolition charge and the C-4 TNT-like block. Both use sticks of C-4, with the charge using 3 sticks and with the block, 8 sticks.

With sticks of semtex, a semtex mining charge can be made, which drops all blocks and has fortune, which makes it better in terms of drops than the demolition charge.

Trivia

Like semtex, C-4 can actually be eaten ingame.
