Orbital Strike Cannon
by SlimeeyYt
Orbital Strike Cannon gives a fishing rod a sky-strike attack that calls down TNT from above.
What it does
The rod, named Orbital TNT Rod, fires a bombardment at a target location when the player right-clicks. The strike drops three large rings of TNT and a vertical stack in the center, so the blast covers a wide area and leaves a crater. A 9-second cooldown limits how often it can be used, and each use consumes durability. The rod always shows the enchanted glint.
The recipe becomes available once the player completes the Orbital Strike advancement, and the rod can be repaired with a Nether Star. The mod requires Fabric API. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, across 7 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
