Voidstar Planetbreaker

Quickstart

1. Obtain the Voidstar Planetbreaker by crafting it at a crafting table or taking it from the Creative inventory.
2. Hold it in your hand and aim at the area you want to destroy.
3. Press the Use button. The Planetbreaker targets a point about 32 blocks in the direction you are looking.
4. Move away from the impact zone and wait about 1 second before firing again.

The blast destroys terrain, creates a tall beam of cleared space, calls down lightning, and damages nearby non-player entities.

Overview

The Voidstar Planetbreaker is a single-use-at-a-time destructive weapon for large-scale terrain removal and devastating attacks. Each activation creates a destructive impact point in the direction you are facing, followed by a vertical energy beam and multiple lightning strikes.

It does not damage players through its nearby entity-damage effect, but the terrain destruction and lightning make it dangerous to use around builds, structures, and valuable areas.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Planetbreaker at a crafting table using:

• 1 Nether Star
• 2 End Crystals
• 1 Beacon
• 2 Iron Blocks
• 1 Redstone Block

You can also obtain it from the Creative inventory under equipment.

How To Use

• Equip the Planetbreaker in your hand.
• Aim in any direction, including upward or downward.
• Press the normal item Use control to activate it.
• The impact point is calculated approximately 32 blocks from you along your view direction.
• The weapon has a cooldown of 20 game ticks, or approximately 1 second. Attempts to use it during this cooldown do nothing.

Because the impact is placed in the direction you are looking rather than at the first block you target, aim carefully when working near buildings or other players.

Abilities And Mechanics

Planetbreaking Beam

Each activation clears a vertical column centered on the impact point:

• Approximately 11 blocks wide
• Approximately 11 blocks deep
• Extending 49 blocks upward from the impact level

The beam destroys blocks in its path, leaving a tall open shaft.

Impact Shockwave

The base of the beam is widened by a secondary blast covering approximately:

• 17 blocks across
• 5 blocks high
• 17 blocks deep

This clears a broad area around the impact point.

Lightning Discharge

Several lightning bolts appear around the top of the beam, emphasizing the energy strike and creating additional danger near the blast area.

Entity Damage

Non-player entities near the impact are struck for 80 points of lightning damage. The affected area extends around the impact and reaches from below the impact level to well above it.

Durability

The Planetbreaker has 1,000 durability and cannot be stacked. Each activation may consume durability, so repeated use will eventually wear it out.

Progression And Strategy

• Test the Planetbreaker in an open area before using it near a base.
• Use it to excavate large shafts, clear terrain, or make dramatic impact craters.
• Aim upward to create a beam through the sky, or aim downward to cut into underground areas.
• Keep valuable blocks, farms, and structures well away from the target area.
• Clear nearby hostile mobs before firing if you want to avoid wasting the blast on a crowded area.
• Leave roughly a second between activations to ensure the next shot fires.
