Orbital Railgun: Renewed
With Orbital Railgun: Renewed, a player crafts a railgun, aims it through a full-screen targeting interface and calls down an orbital strike on the chosen spot.
What it does
Once the Orbital Railgun has been crafted, holding right-click opens the aiming view and left-click fires. After a delay of roughly thirty seconds, the strike hits, and anything inside a 24-block radius is vaporized, leaving only bedrock behind. A targeting shader, a sky beam and a massive crater add to the effect, and the post-explosion screen effects clear faster than in the original, with the vignette fading in 8 seconds instead of 20.
This is an unofficial NeoForge port of the Mishkis original, released under the original MIT License with its source published on GitHub. The port brings the mod to newer Minecraft versions, and it replaces the extra rendering libraries used by the original with the vanilla post-processing pipeline. The mod is client and server, and it requires Geckolib, which has version 4.x for Minecraft 1.21.4 and 5.x for 1.21.5. Sodium is reported as compatible.
Key features
Crafted railgun
The Orbital Railgun is a craftable item, so the strike is available once the player has the materials.
Targeting interface
Holding right-click opens a full-screen aiming view, and left-click fires the strike at the selected point.
Destructive strike
Everything within a 24-block radius is destroyed down to bedrock, leaving a large crater.
Faster screen recovery
The vignette clears in 8 seconds instead of 20, so the screen recovers sooner after a blast.
