Description
This mod adds a usable rocket launcher and a suite of selectable missile types — normal, explosive, nuke, napalm, gas, boost, plague, and the new Death Cloud Missile — letting you craft, select, and fire powerful projectile bombs; get started by crafting normal missiles (1 TNT + 4 iron → 9 missiles), the rocket launcher, then make specialty rounds (napalm: one normal missile surrounded by blaze rods → 6 napalm; boost: one normal missile surrounded by any cooked meat; plague crafted like other specialty rounds), and craft the Death Cloud Missile shapelessly from 1 Gas Missile + 1 Plague Missile + 1 Explosive Missile to produce one Death Cloud. Choose a missile by right‑clicking its item to set the launcher’s current ammo (it falls back to an automatic high‑tier preference if none is selected), equip and right‑click to fire — the launcher has durability, a firing cooldown and sound, and consumes one missile per shot in Survival (Creative exposes the launcher and all missiles in the Combat tab). Missile effects vary: normal deals compact AOE damage, explosive makes larger blasts, nuke creates a destructive shockwave that shatters terrain while preserving protected blocks, napalm produces a large fire blast that ignites entities and spreads flames without breaking blocks, gas creates a large toxic cloud that applies Poison VI for 30 seconds, plague creates a non‑block‑breaking wither cloud that applies Wither VI for 30 seconds, boost has been nerfed to grant Regeneration III for 5 seconds (it still gives Absorption IV for 120 seconds and Speed I/Strength I for 15 seconds), and the new Death Cloud creates a very giant, non‑damaging cloud that applies Poison VIII and Wither VIII for 30 seconds (mask protections block and clear the respective effects). The mod also adds protective gear: a craftable netherite‑tier gas mask helmet that blocks and clears gas poison, a netherite‑tier plague doctor mask that blocks and clears wither, a fire protection armor set with doubled durability whose full set grants full fire immunity and clears burning (partial sets greatly reduce fire damage), and a combinable super mask that grants poison, wither, and fire immunity on its own.

Missile Forge Launcher
Quickstart
- Craft some Normal Missiles (the base ammo for most recipes):
- Craft the Rocket Launcher:
- Right-click a missile item in your hand to tell the launcher which type to use. A chat message confirms your selection.
- Right-click with the Rocket Launcher equipped to fire. One missile is consumed per shot (durability is also spent). A short cooldown applies between shots.
That's it — aim, select, fire, and craft more exotic missiles as you progress.
Overview
Missile Forge Launcher adds a handheld Rocket Launcher that fires eight distinct missile types, each with unique area effects ranging from raw explosive damage to massive poison or wither clouds. The mod also includes a suite of protective helmets and armor to survive the chaos you — or enemies — create.
All items appear in the Combat creative tab.

How To Use
Firing the Launcher
- Have missiles somewhere in your inventory.
- Right-click a missile item to select it as the active ammo type. The launcher remembers your choice.
- Hold the Rocket Launcher and right-click to fire.
- If no missile type has been manually selected, the launcher automatically picks the highest-tier missile available in your inventory (priority: Nuke → Explosive → Napalm → Gas → Plague → Death Cloud → Boost → Normal).
- In Survival, one missile is consumed per shot and the launcher loses 1 durability. In Creative, ammo is infinite.
The projectile travels in a slight arc, trails smoke and flame particles, and detonates on contact or after ~10 seconds of travel.

Abilities And Mechanics
Missile Effects
| Missile | Effect on Impact |
|---|---|
| Normal | Compact AOE explosion (power 6, damage 20) |
| Explosive | Larger blast (power 7, damage 45, radius ~9 blocks) |
| Nuke | Massive destructive shockwave (power 28, radius ~40 blocks); shatters terrain but respects protected blocks |
| Napalm | Large fire blast (radius ~30 blocks); ignites all nearby entities and spreads flames — does not break blocks |
| Gas | Large toxic cloud (radius ~34 blocks); applies Poison VI for 30 seconds — blocked by Gas Mask or Super Mask |
| Plague | Large wither cloud (radius ~34 blocks); applies Wither VI for 30 seconds — does not break blocks; blocked by Plague Doctor Mask or Super Mask |
| Boost | Applies Regeneration III (5 s), Absorption IV (120 s), Speed I and Strength I (15 s each) to nearby entities |
| The Death Cloud | Enormous cloud (radius ~54 blocks); applies Poison VIII and Wither VIII for 30 seconds — no direct damage, no block breaking; both effects blocked/cleared by the Super Mask |
Protective Gear
Gas Mask — equip in the helmet slot. Continuously removes Poison, blocking gas missile effects.
Plague Doctor Mask — equip in the helmet slot. Continuously removes Wither, blocking plague missile effects.
Super Mask — equip in the helmet slot. Removes both Poison and Wither, and grants permanent Fire Resistance. Blocks the Death Cloud Missile's combined effects on its own.
Fire Protection Armor — netherite-tier armor with doubled base durability.
- Each piece equipped reduces incoming fire damage (each piece cuts 25% more, down to a minimum of 20% of original damage).
- Wearing all four pieces grants complete fire immunity: fire damage is cancelled outright and you are extinguished instantly.
- The Super Mask alone also grants full fire immunity without needing the armor set.
Progression And Strategy
Early game: Craft Normal Missiles and the Rocket Launcher as soon as you have iron and TNT. Normal Missiles are cheap and effective at clearing mobs or small structures.
Mid game: Upgrade to Explosive and Napalm Missiles. Napalm is especially effective against groups — it ignites everything in a wide radius without destroying your builds. Craft a Gas Mask or Plague Doctor Mask before using Gas or Plague Missiles in close quarters.
Late game: Nuke Missiles demand caution — their blast radius is enormous and they actively break terrain. Save them for open-world demolition. The Death Cloud Missile is the ultimate area-denial tool: its colossal radius applies both Poison VIII and Wither VIII, but it requires you to have already crafted Gas, Plague, and Explosive Missiles first.
Defense: The Fire Protection armor set is essential if you're fighting in the Nether or facing Napalm missiles. Combine the Gas Mask, Plague Doctor Mask, and Fire Protection Helmet at a crafting table to produce the Super Mask — a single helmet that handles poison, wither, and fire threats simultaneously, freeing the other three armor slots for whatever you prefer.
