Strikerload
Strikerload is a Fabric technology mod that calls down an orbital strike cannon on any chosen spot, with each payload item set up to drop explosives on a target area.
What it does
Right-clicking a payload item paints a target, and moments later a strike arrives on that spot. Each payload's size is configurable per item, and the same item can be given a three-ring or a twenty-ring yield. Rings of TNT and column drills that break bedrock are part of the strike, and a volley of arrows ends whatever stands in the area. The mod is designed around server owners, so a server can set which worlds allow strikes and cap the number of entities a single strike may create.
The mod is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code is public. It needs Fabric API, and it is also available for Paper, Purpur and Folia, which are server platforms rather than mod loaders. Files cover 1.21.11 and the 26.1 line through 26.2, with 26.2 as the latest file (FABRIC-1.0.0-26.2, published 2026-09-14). The first release came out on 2026-08-17.
Key features
Orbital strike on a target
A payload item paints a target, and the strike lands there a short time later from above.
Configurable payload size
The size of each payload is set per item, so one item can release a small strike and another a large one.
World and entity limits
Server owners list the worlds where strikes are allowed and set a ceiling on the number of spawned entities per strike.
Protected by default
Everything is denied until granted, and nodes per payload let server owners hand out specific payloads without giving out the full nuke.
