Kaiju Strike Designator

Kaiju Strike Designator lets you trigger a huge beam strike in your world. The sky darkens, vortex clouds form overhead, and blocks spiral upward before a beam fires from bedrock to the sky. The explosion happens in three phases and leaves a bowl-shaped crater with jagged edges and irradiated terrain.

Using the designator

1. Craft the designator using nuclear cores, diamond blocks, netherite, and a dragon head.
2. Right-click to aim and place the Kaiju Strike Device.
3. Fuel it with a nuclear core, crafted from a nether star, end crystals, and redstone blocks.
4. Shift-right-click to cycle through the three timer modes, then activate it and move clear.

The aftermath

Irradiated blocks have a green tint and damage nearby players with a custom radiation effect. You will hear Geiger counter sounds when you approach them. The strike also has shockwave effects, custom GLSL vortex clouds, and block-ripping physics.

There are three beam color palettes and 11 sound events with positional audio reaching roughly 800 blocks. The beam uses animated noise-based visuals.

Configuration

In atomicbreathrailgun-common.toml, you can set the blast radius from 10 to 500 blocks (150 by default) and the countdown from 5 to 300 seconds.

You can also toggle bedrock destruction and fuel requirements, choose allowed dimensions, exclude blocks from destruction, and adjust radiation duration and strength. Barriers and command blocks are excluded by default.
