Description from the author on Modrinth

WitherCannon

Mass destruction. In your hands.

Turn your Minecraft server into a battlefield with WitherCannon, a Paper plugin that lets authorized players unleash devastating formations of blue Wither Skulls.

Inspired by the Unstable SMP, this wither cannon brings customizable bombardments, concentrated strikes, and large-scale destruction to your server.

Features

Flat Bombardment – Unleash a massive, irregular spread of Wither Skulls across a wide area.

Star Formation – Fire skulls in a distinctive radial star pattern. (My personal fav)

Heavy Formation – Concentrate a dense formation of skulls into a smaller impact zone.

Dome Formation – Create a huge, filled canopy of Wither Skulls raining down over the battlefield.

Long Mode – Fire multiple rounds in succession.

Manual Mode – Keep firing until you activate the device again.

Close Mode – Use a tighter version of supported formations.

Configurable Settings – Customize skull counts (WIP), formation sizes, cooldowns, explosion power, and more.

Requirements

A good PC

Important

WitherCannon is designed for destructive gameplay. Large bombardments can be resource-intensive, especially with high skull counts. Test your configuration and use it responsibly on your server.

Have fun. Try not to delete your entire world.
