Nuclear Weapons
by Andy_71
Nuclear Weapons adds a nuke and the radioactive aftermath of its blast, with a radiation suit and a Geiger counter for players who go near the fallout.
What it does
The mod adds a nuclear explosion that leaves radioactive fallout across an area of six chunks around the blast. Players caught in the fallout can become radioactively contaminated, and the effect lasts for a set time once they leave. Radioactive milk is included as a way to clear the glowing status, which lasts 25 minutes.
A radiation suit protects the wearer while they move through contaminated ground, and a Geiger counter reports how close the nearby radiation is. The author notes describe further features as upcoming, so the current release covers the nuke, the suit, the counter and the milk. Only the server must run Nuclear Weapons; players may leave it out and still take part in the world. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 12 release versions.
