Stormfall Airstrike

Quickstart

1. Open a Crafting Table and craft one of the five Designator items (see recipes below).
2. Hold the Designator in your hand.
3. Aim at a block or in the direction you want to target, then use (right-click / tap the use button) to designate the target point.
4. Watch your action bar — a countdown warning appears in red (e.g. Nuclear Airstrike inbound: 5s) and a pling sound plays each second.
5. Get clear of the blast zone before the timer hits zero!

A good first strike to test is the Carpet Bomb — it has a short cooldown and a clear, visible multi-bomb pattern.

Overview

Stormfall Airstrike adds five military-style airstrike abilities to Minecraft. Each strike is triggered by holding and using a Designator item. After a brief warning countdown, a scripted, cinematic strike sequence plays out at the targeted location. All five strikes are per-player with individual cooldowns, so you can't chain them back-to-back.

What It Adds

All Designators are found in the Equipment tab of the creative inventory and stack to only 1.

How To Use

1. Hold the desired Designator item.
2. Aim at a surface or look in the direction you want to strike. The target is set roughly 40 blocks in front of you, or at the block you are looking at.
3. Use the item (right-click / screen tap) to call in the strike.
4. The target location will emit flame and critical-hit particles, and a red action-bar message will count down to impact. A pling sound plays each second.
5. Any player within 48 blocks of the target receives the countdown warning.
6. Once the timer expires, the strike executes its full sequence.
7. After using a Designator, it enters a per-player cooldown — the action bar will notify you if you try to use it too early.

Abilities And Mechanics

☢️ Nuclear Airstrike

• Warning: 5 s  |  Cooldown: 60 s
• Triggers a massive central explosion (radius 12) followed by a ring of secondary blasts radiating outward.
• Applies Wither II and Blindness to all entities within ~28 blocks.
• Knocks back entities up to 30 blocks away with extreme force.
• Leaves large-scale terrain destruction.

💣 MOAB Airstrike

• Warning: 5 s  |  Cooldown: 45 s
• Delivers a huge central explosion with multiple secondary blasts.
• Applies Knockback and Weakness to nearby entities.
• One of the largest single-impact strikes.

🔩 Bunker Buster Airstrike

• Warning: 4 s  |  Cooldown: 35 s
• Drills downward from the target point, carving a shaft through terrain.
• Designed to pierce through layers of blocks before detonating deep underground.
• Effective against buried structures.

💥 Carpet Bomb Airstrike

• Warning: 3 s  |  Cooldown: 20 s
• Rains bombs in a multi-wave grid pattern across a wide area around the target.
• Multiple sequential explosions cover a large surface area.
• Great for clearing open terrain.

🧪 Acid Airstrike

• Warning: 3 s  |  Cooldown: 18 s
• Spawns poisonous acid clouds and corrosive bursts at the target.
• Applies Poison and Slowness to affected entities.
• Does not break blocks — safe to use in builds you want to keep intact while still threatening players and mobs.

Progression And Strategy

• Start with Acid or Carpet Bomb — they use common materials and have the shortest cooldowns, making them great for early experimentation.
• MOAB and Nuclear require rarer ingredients (Nether Star, Diamonds, Blaze Powder) and are intended as late-game options with appropriately long cooldowns.
• Bunker Buster is the go-to for underground targets; aim at the surface above a buried base to drill down into it.
• Use Acid defensively in structures you want to preserve — it harms entities without touching terrain.
• Always stand well back (at least 30+ blocks for Nuclear/MOAB) before the countdown ends. Status effects like Wither and Poison linger long after the blast.
• Since cooldowns are per-player, multiple players can coordinate to chain different strike types in quick succession for maximum effect.
