☄️ Orbital Strike Cannon V2

Orbital Strike Cannon V2 adds two powerful orbital weapons to Minecraft Bedrock Edition:

• 🔻 Orbital Strike Stab

• ☢️ Orbital Strike Nuke

Both weapons use scripted orbital targeting and controlled vanilla TNT to deliver large-scale attacks from above.

This page explains how to obtain and use the weapons, how targeting works, and the exact technical specifications of each weapon.

🎮 HOW TO USE

🔻 Orbital Strike Stab

The Orbital Strike Stab creates a vertical chain of explosions starting at the targeted surface and continuing downward.

Using it

1. Obtain an Orbital Strike Stab.

2. Hold it in your hand.

3. Aim toward the area you want to strike.

4. Use the item.

5. The addon determines the target location and begins the orbital strike.

6. Explosions travel downward from the surface.

The Stab is designed for focused vertical destruction rather than a large circular bombardment.

What happens underground?

You can activate the weapon while underground.

If the player is below the surface, the addon searches for the surface above the player instead of simply striking the underground cave floor.

This allows you to call the strike onto the surface even when you are underground.

☢️ Orbital Strike Nuke

The Orbital Strike Nuke creates a large orbital TNT formation above the target.

Using it

1. Obtain an Orbital Strike Nuke.

2. Hold it in your hand.

3. Aim toward the area you want to attack.

4. Use the item.

5. The addon calculates the strike location.

6. A large TNT formation appears approximately 30 blocks above the target surface.

7. The TNT is released progressively.

8. The TNT falls toward the target.

9. The TNT detonates and creates the orbital bombardment.

The Nuke is designed for large-area destruction.

🎯 TARGETING SYSTEM

Orbital Strike Cannon does not simply use the player's exact Y-coordinate.

The addon determines the appropriate surface for the strike.

Surface targeting

When targeting from above ground, the addon determines the X/Z location from the player's view and searches for the appropriate surface.

Underground targeting

When the player is underground, the addon detects the underground position and searches for the surface above the player.

This means you can activate an orbital strike while inside a cave or underground structure and have the attack target the surface above.

Nether

The Nether uses separate surface-handling logic because its terrain generation and height conditions differ from the Overworld.

🔻 ORBITAL STRIKE STAB — SPECS

Stab behavior

The Stab creates a vertical sequence of explosions extending from the surface toward the dimension's minimum Y level.

Instead of creating the entire strike in a single instant, explosions are processed progressively.

This creates a long vertical destructive path through terrain.

☢️ ORBITAL STRIKE NUKE — SPECS

🛰️ NUKE TNT FORMATION

The Nuke contains 253 TNT positions.

The formation consists of a center point followed by seven rings:

Center       1 TNT
Ring 1       9 TNT
Ring 2       18 TNT
Ring 3       27 TNT
Ring 4       36 TNT
Ring 5       45 TNT
Ring 6       54 TNT
Ring 7       63 TNT
──────────────────
TOTAL        253 TNT

The outermost ring reaches approximately 35 blocks from the center.

The formation is currently a flat ring/dome-style orbital formation, rather than a curved spherical dome.

🚀 HOW THE NUKE DEPLOYS

The Nuke does not simply spawn 253 TNT entities and instantly detonate everything.

The deployment is controlled in stages:

1. Target calculation

The addon determines the target location and surface.

2. Orbital formation

The TNT formation is created approximately 30 blocks above the target.

3. Progressive release

The formation is released progressively rather than all at once.

4. Falling TNT

The TNT falls toward the target using Minecraft's normal TNT/entity physics.

5. Fuse

When the TNT reaches the appropriate impact condition, its controlled fuse begins.

6. Explosion

The TNT detonates with Explosion Power 4, damaging terrain and entities around the impact.

💥 DAMAGE & EXPLOSIONS

Both Orbital Strike weapons use Explosion Power 4.

The explosions can:

• Destroy blocks.

• Damage nearby entities.

• Knock entities back.

• Create large craters.

• Destroy terrain and structures.

The addon also applies additional direct entity damage around impacts.

Direct damage

Entities within approximately 4 blocks of an impact can receive additional damage.

Maximum direct damage:

25 damage

The direct damage decreases with distance from the impact.

The custom direct-damage system does not intentionally apply this damage to:

• Item entities

• XP orbs

🔥 FIRE

The orbital explosions are configured not to create fire.

The primary effect is therefore destruction from the explosion itself rather than widespread fire generation.

⌨️ COMMANDS

The addon provides commands for quickly obtaining the weapons.

🔻 Stab

Give one:

/orbital:stab

Give specific amounts:

/orbital:stab1
/orbital:stab2
/orbital:stab10
/orbital:stab32
/orbital:stab64

The available commands go from 1 through 64.

☢️ Nuke

Give one:

/orbital:nuke

Give specific amounts:

/orbital:nuke1
/orbital:nuke2
/orbital:nuke10
/orbital:nuke32
/orbital:nuke64

The available commands go from 1 through 64.

🎒 FILL EMPTY INVENTORY SLOTS

You can also fill available empty inventory slots.

Stab

/orbital:stabfull

Nuke

/orbital:nukefull

These commands place the corresponding weapon into available empty inventory slots.

🧹 CLEANUP COMMAND

Orbital Strike Cannon tracks item entities associated with its orbital strike areas.

To remove the tracked orbital-strike item entities:

/orbital:clear

This command is intended to help clean up dropped items around areas affected by the addon.

⚠️ IMPORTANT GAMEPLAY INFORMATION

Cheats

The weapon-giving and inventory-filling commands require cheats.

This includes:

/orbital:stab
/orbital:nuke
/orbital:stab1 - /orbital:stab64
/orbital:nuke1 - /orbital:nuke64
/orbital:stabfull
/orbital:nukefull

The cleanup command:

/orbital:clear

does not require cheats.

Destruction

Both weapons are designed for large-scale block destruction.

Do not use them near builds you want to preserve.

Performance

The Nuke creates a large number of TNT entities and explosions. The addon progressively deploys and processes the attack rather than attempting to execute the entire bombardment in a single script operation.
