Ra's Rays
by IDoTheHax
Ra's Rays is a server-side Fabric mod that adds an orbital strike cannon game, with a use block display, for players on a server.
What it does
The mod adds an orbital strike cannon game played on the server. A player operates a cannon through a use block display, and the game is set up by the server owner. Installation requires Fabric API, and Polymer is bundled inside the mod rather than installed separately.
Because the environment is server-side only, players join a server running Ra's Rays without installing anything. Files target 1.21 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, with 1.21-1.3.0-beta for 1.21.1 as the latest build, published 2025-02-15 on the beta channel. The mod is all rights reserved and is not open source, although its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Orbital strike cannon game
Players fire orbital strikes from cannons that are operated through a use block display on the server.
Use block display
A block display lets players interact with the cannon game directly, without a command or separate interface.
Bundled Polymer entities
Custom entities are handled through Polymer, which is included inside the mod so they can be sent to players without a client install.
Public source and issue tracker
The source code and issue tracker are publicly available for anyone who wants to read the code or report a problem.
