Simple Orbital Wolf Cannon

by Equitice

Simple Orbital Wolf Cannon is a server-side fishing rod mod that calls a pack of buffed tamed wolves down on a target from the sky.

What it does

A command gives players fishing rods tagged with a wolf count, and each rod with a durability of 1 is treated as a cannon. Right-clicking a loaded rod spawns that many wolves at the player's feet, owned by the player, and the rod then breaks. Commands can be run several times with different counts, so one player can hold rods carrying different numbers of wolves. Only rods created by the command are recognised as cannons; plain 1-durability fishing rods do nothing.

Each summoned wolf wears Wolf Armor and receives Speed II and Strength II for 1:30, plus Fire Resistance for 3:00. The wolves are invulnerable for the first 5 seconds, which keeps entity-cramming damage from wiping the pack. The pack targets whatever most recently hit its owner; after the 5-second window they return to vanilla owner-targeting. The mod is inspired by the FlameFrags Unstable SMP videos.

Simple Orbital Wolf Cannon is open source under the MIT License. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build for 26.1.2 dated 2026-06-24, and builds cover 1.21 – 26.1.2 across 15 release versions.

Key features

  1. Command-given cannons

    A command hands out fishing rods that carry a wolf count, and only those rods work as cannons.

  2. Stackable wolf counts

    Several commands with different counts can be run, so rods holding different numbers of wolves can be stored together.

  3. Armored, buffed wolves

    Summoned wolves wear Wolf Armor and gain Speed II and Strength II for 1:30, plus Fire Resistance for 3:00.

  4. Timed invulnerability

    The wolves cannot be damaged for the first 5 seconds after they appear, then switch to vanilla owner-targeting.
