Doomsday Charge

Quickstart

1. Craft a Doomsday Charge at a crafting table:

1. Place it in an isolated area. It arms immediately when placed and detonates after a random fuse of up to about 1.2 seconds.
2. Move away at once. Interacting with the charge or powering it with redstone can also start its fuse, but redstone is not required.
3. Watch the blast expand, then avoid the fallout zone. The detonation destroys terrain, starts fires, scatters Fallout Glass and Infected Biomass, and summons Infected Fallout Zombies.

For a quick Creative test, use /give @s com_doomsday_charge_kvwb2abr:my_block 1.

Warning: The blast, shockwave, and radiation cover an enormous area. Test it far from builds, villages, and anything you want to keep.

Overview

Doomsday Charge is a placeable superweapon for creating a colossal radioactive disaster. A detonation produces:

• A layered explosion that breaks blocks and causes fire
• A powerful shockwave that throws nearby entities
• Expanding outer blast waves
• Fallout Glass and Infected Biomass
• Infected Fallout Zombies
• Thunder, smoke, ash, lightning, and occasional levitation
• A temporary radiation zone with damaging status effects

The charge is consumed when it detonates.

What It Adds

Doomsday Charge

The Doomsday Charge is a full-block explosive. It cannot be safely mined like an ordinary block, and it does not wait for a redstone signal after placement.

If a player breaks the charge before it detonates, the charge drops as an item and can be placed again.

Fallout Glass

Fallout Glass is a glowing aftermath block that emits light. It can be mined with a pickaxe and is relatively resistant to explosions.

Infected Biomass

Infected Biomass is a strange fallout block scattered around the blast area. It emits a small amount of light and is best mined with a shovel.

Infected Fallout Zombie

The Infected Fallout Zombie is an undead hostile mob with 38 health and a melee attack that deals 7 damage. It can appear in adult and baby forms, and some babies can become jockeys.

How To Use

Triggering a Charge

A placed charge starts its fuse automatically. You can also:

• Interact with the placed charge
• Apply redstone power to it

The fuse is very short and varies randomly, so do not stand nearby waiting for a warning.

Detonation

When the fuse ends, the charge disappears and the detonation begins. The central explosion is followed by secondary bursts and three expanding outer waves. The blast:

• Breaks terrain
• Damages entities
• Causes fire
• Works underwater
• Produces intense explosion and smoke effects
• Can chain-react other placed Doomsday Charges in the same dimension and blast area

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Doomsday Charge at a crafting table using iron blocks, TNT, glowstone, and a redstone block.

Fallout Glass and Infected Biomass do not have a listed crafting recipe. They are scattered throughout the aftermath of a detonation and can be collected afterward.

The Infected Fallout Zombie can be obtained from the Creative inventory with its spawn egg. You can also summon one with:

/summon com_doomsday_charge_kvwb2abr:infected_zombie ~ ~ ~

Abilities And Mechanics

Shockwave

The detonation launches entities away from ground zero before the main terrain destruction finishes. The shockwave reaches much farther than the most visible central blast, so flying, hiding underground, or standing far from the charge is important.

Fallout Storm

After the explosion, the area becomes a fallout zone for about 3 minutes. The storm reaches roughly 820 blocks from the detonation point and periodically applies:

• Wither
• Poison
• Hunger to players
• Occasional levitation to players closer to the center

The storm also produces smoke and ash, summons lightning, and keeps thunderous weather active. An on-screen warning signals when radiation is active and when the fallout is fading.

Evacuate the entire blast area rather than waiting nearby for the storm to end.

Infected Fallout Zombies

Infected Fallout Zombies:

• Spawn naturally in dark monster areas on Easy through Hard difficulty
• Usually appear in groups of 1–3
• Can spawn on the surface or underground
• Are immune to fire
• Can breathe and move through water
• Can climb
• Can pick up and equip items
• Can break doors
• Can attack players, villagers, wandering traders, snow golems, iron golems, and some other creatures
• Begin transforming into drowned when submerged for long enough

Some zombies are babies, which move faster and give more experience when killed by a player. A small number of baby zombies can act as jockeys and seek an Infected Fallout Zombie to ride.

Drops

An Infected Fallout Zombie can drop:

• 0–2 rotten flesh, with looting affecting the amount
• Rarely, one iron ingot, carrot, or potato when killed by a player or a player’s pet
• Experience when killed by a player

Equipped gear can also be dropped when applicable.

Progression And Strategy

• Prepare an isolated test site. The blast can erase terrain over a huge area and ignite flammable blocks.
• Use Creative flight or a fast escape route. The charge detonates almost immediately after placement.
• Mark your evacuation point before placing the charge. Radiation and knockback extend far beyond the crater.
• Do not place multiple charges casually. One detonation can trigger other nearby charges and create a chain reaction.
• Return only after the fallout fades. The crater may be reachable before the radiation zone is safe.
• Collect the aftermath carefully. Fallout Glass provides light, while Infected Biomass helps identify areas affected by the blast.
• For a mob challenge, summon or spawn several Infected Fallout Zombies after the terrain is destroyed. Their amphibious movement, climbing, equipment pickup, and door-breaking behavior make them dangerous in both ruined buildings and underground areas.
