vulgar's Orbital Strike mod
by vulgar__xd
vulgar's Orbital Strike mod lets server operators call down a TNT strike on a chosen spot, using a fishing-style Orbital Rod.
What it does
Orbital Rod is a tool that adds a fishing rod to the game. When a player uses it, the rod places a TNT strike on the spot where the player aims, within 64 blocks, and the blast lands directly one block above the clicked block. Precision targeting keeps the strike on the chosen point, and the blast radius, power and the damage dealt to players and mobs can all be configured. Vulgar's PvP bot is an optional addon, and the mod also works on its own without it.
Rods are finite: each one tracks its remaining uses and deletes itself once exhausted. Renamed or duplicated rods do not work, which blocks item copying. Distribution is admin only, through a give command, and access is controlled by operators; players cannot obtain the item in survival. Satellite blast shots and a stab shot are listed as future additions, and the mod is distributed for Fabric only, for 1.21.1.
