by AlessioDC

Orbital Cannon For Dummies adds two items for Forge 1.20.1, a simple redstone-driven orbital cannon and a stab stone nuke.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

The mod adds two items: an orbital cannon that is triggered with redstone, and a stab stone nuke. Both are crafted late in progression, so they are meant for players who already have access to the materials. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for the single game version 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Redstone-triggered cannon

    The orbital cannon is fired by a redstone signal, so it can be wired into a contraption or a button.

  2. Stab stone nuke

    A second item, the stab stone nuke, is crafted late in progression as an explosive option.

  3. Crafted late in progression

    Both items use late-game recipes, so they are not available early in a survival world.

What the author says

A Simple Mod to Add two items: The Stab Stone and the Nuke, both of these do semi-similar to cubicmeter's orbital cannon, crafted with some late-game things, these recipes are VERY hard and NOT easy to mass produce (please don't, the creative test world is a mess)
