Aerial Meteors

A cinematic datapack focused on powerful aerial meteor strikes. It includes 4 different variations with increasing scale and intensity, made especially for YouTube videos, SMP events, and etc.

All formations spawn high above the player and fall straight down. Every fireball uses a motion locking system, so the shapes stay controlled and as-is while falling.

Variations

1. Aerial Meteor Strike (1 fireball, 0 rings. a single, extremely powerful fireball. Best used for quick, heavy impact moments)
2. Aerial Meteor Cloud (25 fireballs, 3 rings. a 3-ring formation with strong explosions, good middle option between size and power (best for PvP))
3. Aerial Meteor Destruction (61 fireballs, 5 rings. a wide 5-ring formation, covers a much larger area. Great for destruction (this one doesn't one-shot on hit, but still can be used in PvP))
4. Aerial Meteor Cataclysm (291 fireballs. The most cinematic and heaviest variation. A massive 3D inverted diamond formation made of 11 vertical layers (5 → 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 → center → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 rings. Spawns high in the sky and falls straight down, looks insane in recordings but is very performance heavy)

How to Use

You can give yourself a fishing rod, when pulled, will create the formation that fishing rod was for. Run those commands to recieve those fishing rods:

/function ams:give_fishing_rod # Aerial Meteor Strike
/function ams:give_fr_cloud # Aerial Meteor Cloud
/function ams:give_fr_destruction # Aerial Meteor Destruction
/function ams:give_fr_cataclysm # Aerial Meteor Cataclysm

Cataclysm summons 291 fireballs at once. It is only recommended for cinematic recording using tools like Flashback or Replay Mod. The other three variations are much lighter and can be used more freely. Best results with high render and entity distance.
