Create: Nuclear Shell
by Werea25
With Create: Nuclear Shell installed, a Create cannon can fire a nuclear artillery shell, adding radiation and firestorm effects to the Create Big Cannons setup.
What it does
Create: Nuclear Shell is a Forge addon for Create Big Cannons that adds a nuclear artillery shell. When it detonates it produces a large explosion radius, leaves radiation zones that remain on the ground after the blast, and starts secondary firestorms that damage the surrounding area. The shell is meant for late-game play in heavily modded packs, where other destruction options have run out of scale.
The addon needs Create, Create Big Cannons and Ritchie's Projectile Library, all of which must be present for it to load. It runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files are published for 1.20.1 on Forge, with version 3.1.0 listed as the latest file for 1.20.6.

How it compares
CBC: Nuclear is also a Forge nuclear addon for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and open source, running on client and server. HBM's Nuclear Tech Modernized is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and covers a much wider set of nuclear machinery and items for 1.20.1, so it is a separate system rather than an artillery addon. Create: Nuclear Shell is limited to the artillery path added on top of the cannon setup.
