the battle for your CPU
by akak
the battle for your CPU is a Forge cursed mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a way to destroy the world with a crafted netherrack core and a water bucket.
What it does
A crafted netherrack core, placed and used with a water bucket, sets off a destructive effect that consumes everything in its path except reinforced glass. The mechanic is the main content, and the author notes the mod is still in development with new content planned.
Client and server both need the mod, so it must be installed on the server and on every player's client. The mod is for Forge 1.20.1 only, with the latest file 1.5 published on 2026-08-22. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Destructive world effect

Crafted trigger
