Description:

CBC Enhanced Shells

An addon for Create Big Cannons that adds 55 upgraded munition variants with progressive stat
scaling, unique visual tints, and a tiered crafting system.

---
Overview

CBC Enhanced Shells expands the arsenal of Create Big Cannons by introducing 5 upgrade tiers (Mk.I
through Mk.V) for all 9 base shell types, plus 5 enhanced Powder Charges with increasing muzzle
velocity.

That's 45 new shells + 5 new powder charges = 50 new items to load into your cannons.

Added H Shell

Shell Types
Rocket Shells Now Availables since 1.1.0 compatible with CBC

All 9 base CBC shell types receive 5 upgraded variants:

- HE Shell
- AP Shell
- Solid Shot
- AP Shot
- Shrapnel Shell
- Smoke Shell
- Drop Mortar Shell
- Bag of Grapeshot
- Mortar Stone

Stat multipliers by tier: Mk.I (x3), Mk.II (x5), Mk.III (x10), Mk.IV (x15), Mk.V (x20)

These multipliers apply to damage, penetration, toughness, and other relevant stats. Explosive power
is capped at x3 to keep things balanced.

Powder Charges

5 upgraded powder charges with increasing muzzle velocity:

- Mk.I — 50 m/s (strength 2.5)
- Mk.II — 60 m/s (strength 3.0)
- Mk.III — 70 m/s (strength 3.5)
- Mk.IV — 80 m/s (strength 4.0)
- Mk.V — 90 m/s (strength 4.5)

For reference, the base CBC Powder Charge sits at 40 m/s (strength 2.0).

---
Crafting

All items use a linear upgrade chain — craft each tier from the previous one.

Shells:
- Mk.I = Base CBC Shell + 2 Iron Ingots
- Mk.II = Mk.I + 2 Cast Iron Ingots
- Mk.III = Mk.II + 2 Diamonds
- Mk.IV = Mk.III + 2 Netherite Scraps
- Mk.V = Mk.IV + 1 Netherite Ingot

Powder Charges:
- Each tier = Previous tier + 1 Packed Gunpowder

---
Visual Tiers

Each tier has a distinct color tint applied via HSV hue rotation, preserving the original texture
shading:

- Mk.I — Orange
- Mk.II — Red
- Mk.III — Violet
- Mk.IV — Cyan
- Mk.V — Gold

Shell Holder (Container Shell)

The Shell Holder is a unique projectile that acts as a container for other shells. Load it with
projectiles, fire it from a cannon, and watch it release all its sub-munitions mid-flight as real
CBC projectile entities.

How it works

1. Place the Shell Holder block
2. Right-click with any projectile (HE Shell, AP Shell, Shrapnel Shell, etc.) to load it inside
3. Attach a fuze and tracer as usual
4. Load it into a cannon with powder charges and fire
5. When the fuze triggers, the Shell Holder releases all loaded shells in a cone burst — each one
flies as a fully independent projectile with its own damage, fuze, and behavior

Interactions

- Right-click with a shell → Inserts the shell into the holder
- Sneak + Right-click (empty hand) → Removes the last inserted shell
- Right-click with a fuze/tracer → Attaches fuze/tracer as normal
- Hover with Shift → Shows capacity and list of loaded shells

Capacity per tier

- Mk.I → 4 shells
- Mk.II → 8 shells
- Mk.III → 12 shells
- Mk.IV → 16 shells
- Mk.V → 20 shells

Rules

- Any projectile type can be loaded (CBC vanilla + addon variants)
- Shell Holders cannot be loaded into other Shell Holders (no recursion)
- An empty Shell Holder is a dud — nothing happens on detonation
- Loaded shells keep their fuze and tracer — an HE Shell with a timed fuze loaded inside will still
detonate on its own after being released

Compatibility

- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1+
- Create Big Cannons 5.11.2
