The Nuke Mod
by Blacktrap
The Nuke Mod, by Blacktrap, adds nuclear bombs and other explosives to Minecraft 1.18.2 on Forge, with bombs that can destroy villages.
What it does
Players craft and detonate nuclear bombs and a range of other explosives. Each bomb destroys a set area when it goes off, and nukes expose players nearby to radiation, which brings its own advanced radiation effects. Most of the recipes use common materials, so the explosives fit into ordinary survival progress.
The explosives cover several roles. A grass landmine explodes when someone walks over it. The TNT variant reaches 8 explosion power, a delayed charge waits a while before it goes off, and a wire cutter is used to defuse landmines and time bombs. A potion grenade stacks and bursts on the block it hits, and a thermobaric bomb works as a smaller nuclear device. The Tsar Bomb is the largest option and can create significant lag on busy worlds.
Decorative items round out the set: a 1x1 painting with a nuke icon, an air raid siren disc and a nuke model that shows a custom nuke in the world. Spawn rates for some of the items are set to be similar to gold. Installation needs Forge only. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for 1.18.2 only, with build 12.3 as the latest file, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
