Missile Forge Launcher

Quickstart

1. Craft some Normal Missiles (the base ammo for most recipes):

1. Craft the Rocket Launcher:

1. Right-click a missile item in your hand to tell the launcher which type to use. A chat message confirms your selection.
2. 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

1. Have missiles somewhere in your inventory.
2. Right-click a missile item to select it as the active ammo type. The launcher remembers your choice.
3. Hold the Rocket Launcher and right-click to fire.
4. 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).
5. 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

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.
