Orbital Mob Cannon

OrbitalMobCannon

OrbitalMobCannon is a Minecraft plugin that turns an ordinary fishing rod into an orbital mob deployment weapon. Launch mobs from the sky and rain them down across the battlefield with a randomized spread and velocity system.

Using /orbitalmob <mob> <amount>, players can obtain a specially configured fishing rod that deploys the selected mobs when the bobber is reeled in. Once activated, the mobs spawn 80 blocks above the bobber's location and are given 30 seconds of Slow Falling, allowing them to descend from the sky while spreading out naturally.

Each mob is launched with randomized horizontal directions and varying velocities, creating a chaotic orbital bombardment effect rather than spawning every mob in the exact same location.

The orbital fishing rod has a visual durability of 4, but is designed to be a single-use item. After the first activation, the rod immediately breaks and plays the standard item-breaking sound effect.
