New Orbitals

25 orbital strike cannons on fishing rods. Cast one, and TNT, wardens, wither skulls, dragon breath or cavalry come down out of the sky in rings onto wherever the bobber land

Every cannon is a vanilla fishing rod with one point of durability. Cast it like a normal rod - wherever the bobber lands is the target. The formation appears high in the sky, hanging still while it is drawn ring by ring, then the whole thing drops at once. TNT explodes the instant it touches the ground. The rod breaks on the first cast.

The mod adds **no items, no blocks, no entities, no particles, no messages**. Everything you see is vanilla. Rename any fishing rod on an anvil to one of the names below and it becomes that cannon.   

### Requirements

- Minecraft 1.21.11
- Fabric Loader 0.19.5+
- Fabric API

### A note on performance

These are big. The Nuke Shot is ~900 explosions and detonates them across a second rather than all in one tick so it stays recordable. The Nuclear and Void cannons are the heaviest; expect a stutter when they hit.

    Not So Fast!

    Minecraft is too fast. Wood in twenty seconds, stone in a minute, iron before the first night, the Nether in ten minutes, the dragon before dinner. Most of the game never gets played.
