What it does

The cannons fire from above a target and drop their payload onto it. Each shot type has a matching run command, so operators can trigger a Nukeshot, Stabshot, Arrowshot, Withershot or Wolfshot. An Enderpearl Stasis rod holds a position once its coordinates are set when prompted.

Running the everything command or the shulker-full command fills a shulker box with the whole set of shots at once. Operators need operator permissions to use these commands, so the setup suits server owners and map makers rather than casual single-player play.

The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may leave it out. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, and the code is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for game versions 1.20.1 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also published. Its latest file is 1.6mod for 26.3, dated 2026-09-25.
