Astra Shastra

Sudarshana Chakra — The Divine Discus In the Mahabharat, the Sudarshana Chakra is Lord Krishna's signature weapon — a spinning discus of infinite edges, forged by the celestial architect Vishvakarma from the dust of the Sun. It is said to never miss its target and to always return to the wielder's hand. Krishna uses it to slay the demon Shishupala and to shield Arjuna at pivotal moments in the Kurukshetra war. In Indian iconography, you almost always see it spinning on Vishnu's index finger — the symbol of dharma cutting through chaos.

In Astra Shastra, the Chakra comes in three tiers:

Tier Feel Wooden Chakra A practice discus. Right-click sends a small ring of wooden splinters outward in a 2.5-block radius — useful for clearing close threats early-game. Iron Chakra A real soldier's weapon. 3-block ring of iron nuggets and metallic sparks, with knockback that staggers most mobs. Sudarshana Chakra (Divine) The lore-faithful one. Right-click and the divine Chakra leaves your hand, spinning, to orbit you at a 4-block radius — cutting down every hostile it sweeps past, then returning. All in one second. Unbreakable. Fire-resistant. The Chakra in your hand never disappears: this is the divine projection, not the weapon itself. The Sudarshana Chakra is the flagship weapon of the mod — the one most people associate with the Mahabharat, and the first one I designed mechanically.
