Greenfire Siege Tank

Quickstart

1. Craft the Greenfire Siege Tank:

1. Place it on the ground with enough open space around the placement position. The tank assembles from multiple parts.
2. Right-click any part of the assembled tank to deploy the vehicle and mount it.
3. Drive with your movement controls:
   • W: Move forward
   • S: Move backward
   • A/D: Strafe
   • Space: Fire a rocket in the direction you are looking
   • Sprint: Dismount after the short mounting grace period
4. Aim at terrain or enemies and press Space to launch a rocket. Rockets explode on impact, damage nearby creatures, break blocks, ignite exposed areas, and throw nearby blocks through the air.

The tank is also available in the Creative inventory. Interact with a parked tank to mount it again.

Overview

The Greenfire Siege Tank is a rideable battlefield vehicle built for destructive attacks. It combines arcade-style movement with TNT-rendered rockets and powerful impact effects.

When you ride the tank, your view switches to third-person rear view and a vehicle display shows:

• SPD: Current movement speed
• HDG: Current heading
• ALT: Current height

What It Adds

• The Greenfire Siege Tank item
• A multi-part tank structure that forms when the item is placed
• A rideable tank vehicle
• TNT-like rockets with flame and smoke trails
• Impact damage against nearby living creatures
• Block-breaking impacts
• Flying blocks launched from the impact site
• Exposed fire around suitable impact locations

How To Use

Deploying the Tank

Place the Greenfire Siege Tank item like a block. The main tank part creates the rest of the tank assembly in nearby replaceable spaces. Place it on a clear area so terrain or other blocks do not obstruct the assembly.

Right-click any part of the completed tank to deploy it. The structure is removed as the vehicle appears, and the interacting player automatically becomes its rider.

Driving

The tank follows your movement input and facing direction. Forward movement is faster than reversing or strafing. The tank has no normal gravity, but it does not fly upward under its own power; use it as a ground vehicle and aim its weapon with your view.

Dismounting

Use the Sprint control to leave the tank. The vehicle remains parked in the world after you dismount and can be mounted again by interacting with it.

The Sprint input is briefly ignored immediately after mounting so that accidental input does not instantly eject you.

Recovering the Tank

If the deployed vehicle is attacked, it is removed and drops one Greenfire Siege Tank item. The rider is ejected when this happens.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Greenfire Siege Tank with:

• Green concrete
• Iron blocks
• Dispensers
• An anvil
• A minecart
• A fire charge
• TNT

In Creative mode, take the Greenfire Siege Tank directly from the Creative inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

Rocket Firing

Press Space to fire a rocket. The rocket:

• Travels in the direction you are looking
• Appears as a TNT projectile
• Leaves flame and smoke particles behind
• Plays a priming sound when launched
• Explodes when it hits a block or entity
• Has a short firing cooldown of about 1.25 seconds

The weapon fires when Space is pressed, rather than continuously while the key is held. Release and press Space again to fire another rocket after the cooldown.

Rocket Impact

A rocket impact creates a broad destructive zone. Nearby living creatures, except the player who fired the rocket, take heavy damage and are knocked away.

The impact also:

• Breaks nearby breakable blocks without producing a large pile of item drops
• Launches up to ten nearby solid blocks outward and upward
• Sends thrown blocks across the battlefield
• Places fire in exposed spaces where fire can survive
• Produces an explosion effect and sound

Bedrock, portal blocks, gateway blocks, and command blocks are protected from the rocket's block-breaking effect.

Tank Structure

The placed tank is made from many named Greenfire Siege Tank Part blocks. These parts form one connected assembly and face the direction selected when the main item is placed.

Breaking one part removes the rest of the connected tank structure. Interacting with a part activates the entire tank, provided the assembly can be resolved correctly.

Progression And Strategy

• Build the tank in an open area to avoid partially obstructing its assembly.
• Use third-person view and the heading display to line up attacks while driving.
• Aim above distant targets to account for the rocket's travel path.
• Fire at terrain near groups of enemies to combine area damage, knockback, block destruction, and fire.
• Avoid using the tank near valuable builds or flammable structures.
• After dismounting, leave the vehicle parked where it can be found and reused.
• If the tank becomes inconvenient or blocks a path, attack it to recover the Greenfire Siege Tank item.
