How To Use
Hold the item in your hand and press the normal Use control.
Traveling Orb
Use the item without sneaking to fire an orb in your view direction.
The orb begins several blocks in front of you.
It travels at about 10 blocks per second.
It can travel up to 150 blocks.
Its destructive core has a radius of about 7 blocks.
Blocks touched by the orb are replaced with air and do not drop items.
Living entities touched by the orb take 70 damage once.
The user is not damaged by their own traveling orb.
The ability has a 2-minute cooldown.
The orb continues through terrain, so aim carefully before firing.
Crouching Orb
Sneak while pressing Use to create a charged orb.
The orb appears 15 blocks above your position.
It remains there while it charges for 10 seconds.
It erases blocks in its initial 7-block radius during the charge.
After charging, it rapidly expands from 7 blocks to a 50-block radius.
The expansion lasts about half a second.
At full size, living entities within 50 blocks take 70 damage.
The user is excluded from the orb's area damage.
The user receives 18 points of unavoidable backlash damage when the blast finishes.
The user receives Slow Falling II for 60 seconds after the charge completes.
The ability has its own 2-minute cooldown.
Moving away from the area beneath the orb is strongly recommended. The charged orb stays where it was created rather than following you.
Crafting And Obtaining
Craft the item at a crafting table:
The recipe uses amethyst shards, wind charges, and a nether star. It produces one Hollow Purple\Purple Nuke.

Cooldowns are tracked separately. Attempting to use an ability before it is ready displays its remaining cooldown on the action bar.
The abilities remove blocks directly rather than breaking them normally, so ores, containers, and other blocks in the affected volume do not produce collectible drops.
Progression And Strategy
Make the traveling orb your first test in a long, open tunnel or against a distant structure.
Use the traveling ability for clearing straight paths and destroying targets at range.
Use the crouching orb only in a safe location because its 50-block radius can erase a huge area.
Mark or evacuate the blast zone before starting a charged orb.
Keep healing supplies or protective equipment ready for the charged orb's 18-point backlash.
Because the cooldowns are independent, you can use one ability while waiting for the other to recharge.
Treat the item as a high-impact demolition tool rather than a normal sword; its melee attack is useful, but the orb abilities are its main purpose.
