Orbital Strike Cannon Recreation
by thecatreal
Orbital Strike Cannon Recreation brings a set of orbital strike cannon attacks to Fabric servers, with a stab shot, nuke shot, wither attacks and railguns.
What it does
Each attack is fired from a cannon and is built around a different pattern. The stab shot instantly destroys a vertical column of blocks down to bedrock. The nuke shot drops a massive TNT strike arranged in a ring, and the ring radius can be configured. The wither attacks send charged wither skulls down in a pattern, or scatter them across a grid to deny an area.
Several other attacks follow the same idea. A high-velocity arrow cannon fires fast arrows, a wide railgun spreads a horizontal line of shots at configurable spacing, and an aerial railgun covers an area above with a vertical grid. A wolf cannon summons wolves. Damage tiers, spread, delay, arrow counts, wither bands, grid radius and void rod range are all adjustable in the configuration, and recipe conditions can be set too.
The mod is server-side only: players join without installing anything, and only the server needs it. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. A Paper plugin with feature parity with the Fabric mod is also available for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Folia and Velocity.
