# **How It Works** Orbital rods are vanilla fishing rods tagged with NBT data. They're UUID-locked to whoever they were given to, so nobody else can fire them. When you use the rod (depending on trigger style), it calls down the strike you configured. Getting a rod is done through commands — there's no crafting (yet). Rods can be configured with a shot type, delay in ticks before the strike fires, size, and optionally a fixed target coordinate that ignores where you're looking. ## **Trigger Styles** There are three ways rods can fire, set globally with ``` /orbital setting triggerstyle: ``` Instant — Right click, rod breaks, strike fires after delay. Simple. Cast — Right click to throw the bobber, it sits for a second, then fires and breaks. Looks clean. Reel — First click casts the bobber, second click reels it in and fires. This is the preferred style and what most setups use. If your raycast misses (looking at sky/void), the MissFailsafe gamerule controls whether the rod breaks or gives you another chance. ## **Shot Types** - Stab — A vertical TNT column from Y=319 to Y=-64. Three TNT every three blocks with a slight random offset. The classic. - Straight Stab — Same as stab but one clean TNT per block, no offset, perfectly vertical. - Accurate Stab — Based on CubicMeter's orbital cannon design. Hundreds of accelerator TNT chain-detonate at Y=319 driving piercer TNT deep underground before they go off. Actually drills through terrain. - Nuke MK4 — A Saturn-ring formation. TNT spawns as a tight cluster above the target then expands outward into concentric rings as it falls. Classic orbital nuke look. - Nuke MK2 — The big one. Fires two separate batches. The first creates a cone and mushroom cloud shape that scales height based on size. The second batch spawns as a compact cluster at a fixed height, freefalls for 50 ticks, then explodes outward into a massive ring. The height of the cone scales proportionally with size so it always looks right. - Nuke MK6 — Fast and aggressive. All TNT spawns at the center and immediately blasts outward with strong downward velocity using eased acceleration across rings. Quick and devastating. - Accurate Nuke - A fully accuratlly simulated nuke shot exactly how cubic metre does it CURRENTLY NOT WORKING AS OF 2026-06-10 ## **Commands** ``` /orbital give /orbital give /orbital strike /orbital strike crosshair /orbital strike crosshair /orbital strike give ``` Strike give creates a fixed-target rod that always hits the specified coordinates regardless of where the user is looking. ## **Settings** ### You probably dont wanna mess with these i added these so that i could tweak values without restarting mc every single time ``` /orbital setting triggerstyle /orbital setting nukemk4 OFFSET_HEIGHT /orbital setting nukemk4 INNER_RING_MULTIPLIER /orbital setting nukemk4 OUTER_RING_MULTIPLIER /orbital setting nukemk4 IMPERFECTION_PERCENT /orbital setting nukemk4 TNT_FUSE /orbital setting nukemk2 RING_BASE_SPEED /orbital setting nukemk2 TNT_FUSE /orbital setting nukemk6 OFFSET_HEIGHT /orbital setting nukemk6 TNT_FUSE /orbital setting stab DEPTH /orbital setting stab OFFSET /orbital setting stab AMOUNT_PER_PIECE /orbital setting accuratestab PIERCER_COUNT /orbital setting accuratestab ACCELERATOR_COUNT /orbital setting accuratestab PIERCER_FUSE /orbital setting accuratestab ACCELERATOR_FUSE /orbital setting accuratestab DOWN_VELOCITY ``` ## **Gamerules** ``` /orbital setting gamerule OrbitalChatAnnouncement ``` Toggles all command feedback messages. Errors always show regardless. ``` /orbital setting gamerule AdvancedRodNames ``` False: rods show as "nuke shot" or "stab shot". True: shows full details like "nukemk2 40 16". Updates all existing rods instantly. ``` /orbital setting gamerule FancyRods ``` Makes all rods bold gold with an enchantment glint. No actual enchantment, just cosmetic. Updates existing rods instantly. ``` /orbital setting gamerule MissFailsafe ``` When true, rods don't break if the raycast misses. Gives you another chance. ``` /orbital setting gamerule OneUseCreative ``` When true, rods break in creative mode same as survival. False lets you fire infinitely in creative. ``` /orbital setting gamerule Mk2NukeCloudOnly ``` Disables the second batch on the MK2 nuke, leaving only the cone and cloud. ## **Notes** - All rods are UUID-locked. If someone else picks up your rod it does nothing - Size parameter controls scale for nukes (recommended 12 or 16) and is ignored for basic stab shots - Settings are not currently saved across restarts - Server-side only, no client mod required ## **Source Code & Issues** This mod is open source.
