OrbitalStrikeCannons Plugin

🛰️ OrbitalStrike Cannons

Turn ordinary fishing rods into devastating, precision-targeted orbital artillery weapons like Wemmbu from the Unstable SMP! Designed specifically for high-performance Paper, Purpur, and modern server environments.

✨ Features

🎯 Two Weapon Tiers: STAB (Surgical Laser Column): Cast standing to target a focused red laser beacon followed by a continuous vertical stream of 25 primed TNT directly onto your target. NUKE (Carpet Bombing Matrix): Sneak + cast to unleash a heavy laser, atmospheric lightning, and 3 expanding concentric rings of 37 timed TNT blocks.

⚡ Engineered for Paper & Purpur: Utilizes Paper’s modern AsyncScheduler to offload complex trigonometric math and countdown action-bar trackers off the main server thread. Zero tick-loop allocation overhead on hot paths.

🛡️ Grief Protection Friendly: Toggle block/terrain damage in config.yml (terrain-damage: false) to damage only players and entities without wrecking your world.

📊 Live Dynamic Action-Bar HUD: Players see real-time recharging countdown timers directly above their hotbar.

🔒 Granular Permissions: Full LuckPerms compatibility for rod usage, individual strike tiers, and administrative controls.

🔄 Hot-Reloadable: Change sounds, cooldowns, and settings on the fly without server restarts.
