Lukasino's Artillery
by Lukasino
Lukasino's Artillery adds long-range, large interactive cannons for Forge 1.20.1, letting players bombard a target thousands of blocks away.
What it does
Cannons are assembled from modular parts, and each one is operated through in-world interactive controls rather than a single menu. Players aim by clicking the block that marks the target, then load and fire the cannon from its blocks. An in-game guidebook explains the setup and the controls, so players can learn the system without leaving the game.
The mod is built around siege play in multiplayer, where one base can strike another from a distance. Console upgrades and an improved targeting system change how accurate shots are, and several ammunition types give different effects on impact. Rocket defenses are included for the other side of the same contest. Geckolib is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod.
Files target Forge for 1.20.1 only. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Version 0.1.1 is the latest Forge file, published on 2025-09-13, after the first release on 2025-09-05.
Key features
Long-range cannons
Large cannons are built to hit targets many blocks away, reaching bases across the map.

Interactive controls
Aiming, loading and firing happen on the cannon's own blocks instead of through a single GUI.
Targeting and upgrades
An improved targeting system and console upgrades affect how each shot is aimed and controlled.
Ammunition and defenses

How it compares
Warium is a Forge 1.20.1 mod that is also client and server, but it is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Valkyrien War and Peace is Forge 1.20.1, client and server, and open source under the MIT License. Create Cannon 2 is a client-side only Forge 1.20.1 mod under All rights reserved, so it needs nothing on the server.

What the author says
Instead of just opening a single GUI or clicking on a block to mark it as a target, this mod uses in-world interactive blocks for aiming, loading, and firing the cannon. So now you can destroy your friend's base while being thousands of blocks away!
