Description:
Adds an Airstrike Tablet item that players receive automatically on spawn and which is periodically restored if lost, giving every player a permanent airstrike ability. Use the tablet by aiming at a block or point in front of you and activating it to call a dramatic strike composed of lightning and falling TNT in a destructive blast pattern. The tablet is unbreakable and has unlimited uses, letting you repeatedly target areas for large-scale destruction without consuming the item.

Airstrike Tablet
Quickstart
- Load into any world with the mod installed.
- The Airstrike Tablet is automatically placed in your inventory the moment you spawn — no crafting required. A message will confirm it is ready.
- Hold the Airstrike Tablet in your hand.
- Aim at any block or open area (up to 80 blocks away).
- Use the item (right-click on Java-style controls, or tap the Use Item button on touch/controller) to call in a strike.
- Watch the sky — lightning strikes first, then 10 TNT bombs rain down in a ring pattern around the target. Back up first!
Overview
Airstrike Tablet gives every player a permanent, unlimited airstrike ability from the moment they join a world. There is nothing to craft or unlock — the tablet arrives in your inventory automatically and is restored if ever lost or cleared. It is indestructible, stackable to only one, and never consumed on use, making large-scale creative destruction effortless and repeatable.
What It Adds
| Item | Description |
|---|
| Airstrike Tablet | A hand-held device that calls a combined lightning and TNT bombardment at your target point. Unbreakable, unlimited uses. |
How To Use
- Hold the Airstrike Tablet in your hand.
- Aim at the block or area you want to destroy. The tablet traces your view direction up to 80 blocks. If you are looking at open sky or nothing within range, the strike lands roughly 24 blocks ahead of you at your current elevation.
- Activate the item with your Use button.
- The sequence begins immediately:
- A loud thunder sound plays and a lightning bolt strikes the target point.
- Over the next few seconds, 10 TNT bombs drop from ~24 blocks above the target, landing in an alternating inner/outer ring pattern around the impact zone (radius ~7 blocks for outer bombs, ~3 blocks for inner).
- Additional lightning bolts strike at every third bomb impact for extra spectacle.
- Repeat as many times as you like — the tablet is never used up.
Abilities And Mechanics
| Mechanic | Detail |
|---|
| Auto-grant on spawn | Every player receives one tablet on first spawn (and on any respawn if missing). |
| Periodic restore | Every 5 seconds the game checks all online players; anyone missing the tablet receives a new one automatically. |
| Targeting | Raycast to the block you are looking at (max 80 blocks). Falls back to a point 24 blocks in front of you if no block is in range. |
| Strike pattern | 10 TNT entities, staggered ~0.2 seconds apart, spread around the target in alternating wide (~7 block) and narrow (~3 block) ring positions. |
| Lightning | One bolt at the target on activation; additional bolts at bomb impact sites every third bomb. |
| Durability | Unbreakable — the tablet is never consumed or damaged. |
| Stack size | 1 (you only ever need one). |
Progression And Strategy
- Safe distance: The outer blast ring extends about 7 blocks from the target plus TNT explosion radius. Stand well back — at least 15–20 blocks — before firing.
- Precision targeting: Look directly at the block you want as the center of destruction. The strike spreads outward from that point, so target the middle of the area you want cleared.
- Chaining strikes: Because the tablet has unlimited uses and no cooldown enforced by the item itself, you can call rapid successive strikes to flatten large areas quickly in creative builds or destruction projects.
- Multiplayer: Every player on the server has their own tablet, so coordinated multi-player strikes can cover very large zones simultaneously.
- Lost tablet: If your inventory is cleared (e.g., by a command or death in survival-adjacent scenarios), the tablet is automatically returned within 5 seconds — you never permanently lose it.
