THE NUKE
Ever wanted to explode your friends but a Orbital Strike Cannon is too cliché?
Introducting....
THE ORBITAL PAPER NUKE! This plugin for paper 1.21/1.21.1 adds a crafting recipe for a crossbow that when shot fires a linear strike of TNT directly on the arrow.
Destructive?
Why would it be a nuke if it wasn't destructive? When the first TNT lands it rapidly increases the radius of the TNT shot. This makes a small area COMPLETELY being destroyed by TNT.
This mod is currently still in Beta and will soon be finished.
It works by the code seeing where the arrow lands, then spawns TNT right above it and makes the TNT fly down with a lot of kinetic energy which causes a radius of around ~80 blocks to be completely destroyed and under fire.
The blast force goes further so when launching. Be sure to have enough distance!
Thank you for using Jits Nukes.
