✨ What is it?

Orbital Shape Cannon adds orbital strike rods to your server. Aim at the ground, right-click, and a shell falls from the sky and bursts above your target. Every TNT of the payload spawns on that one burst point and expands outward into a flat shape, then the whole formation drops together and detonates on the ground.

Pick a shape, grab the rod, and fire.

🔥 Features

• 14 payload shapes, all perfectly flat
• Expanding burst: all TNT spawn on a single point and spread out into the shape, then fall together
• The Nuke: a centre charge plus up to 15 concentric rings of TNT (1305 TNT, reaching 148 blocks)
• One-shot rods: a plain fishing rod with only a name and 1 durability that breaks on use in every game mode
• Fire anywhere: summon strikes by command at any coordinates in any dimension, with ~ support
• Chunk Eater: wipe an entire chunk, from the top of the world to the bottom, spread over several ticks so the server stays smooth
• Optional bedrock breaking for the Chunk Eater, toggled in game
• Fully configurable: shape size, TNT density, explosion power, speed, cooldown and more
• Tab completion for every command
• Wide version support: 1.21 – 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3 (Bukkit API: Spigot, Paper, Purpur)

📜 Commands

Command · What it does
/gives · Gives you Shot rods for that payload. Amount is 1–64. Players only.
/oss [dimension] · Fires a strike at a location. ~ ~ ~ works for relative coordinates. The dimension can be overworld, the_nether, the_end or a world name; if left out, your current world is used.
/chunkeater [dimension] · Removes every block in the chunk at that location. ~ ~ ~ and dimensions work like /oss.
/ossconfig chunkeater-break-bedrock · If true, the Chunk Eater can also break bedrock. Default is false.

Console and command blocks can use /oss and /chunkeater too (the console needs absolute coordinates and a dimension).

🎣 How to use a rod

1. Run /gives star 5 (or any payload type) to get rods.
2. Hold a rod and right-click the block you want to hit (up to 500 blocks away).
3. The rod breaks and the strike begins. There is a short cooldown between shots.

⚠️ Good to know

• Strikes create a lot of TNT (the nuke is 1305 at once). Use it on servers that can handle it, and lower nuke-rings or size if needed.
• The Chunk Eater is permanent. Back up your world first.
• Rods can only be obtained with /gives.
