Kaiju Strike Designator lets you trigger a huge beam strike in your world. The sky darkens, vortex clouds form overhead, and blocks spiral upward before a beam fires from bedrock to the sky. The explosion happens in three phases and leaves a bowl-shaped crater with jagged edges and irradiated terrain.

Using the designator

1. Craft the designator using nuclear cores, diamond blocks, netherite, and a dragon head.
2. Right-click to aim and place the Kaiju Strike Device.
3. Fuel it with a nuclear core, crafted from a nether star, end crystals, and redstone blocks.
4. Shift-right-click to cycle through the three timer modes, then activate it and move clear.

The aftermath

Irradiated blocks have a green tint and damage nearby players with a custom radiation effect. You will hear Geiger counter sounds when you approach them. The strike also has shockwave effects, custom GLSL vortex clouds, and block-ripping physics.

There are three beam color palettes and 11 sound events with positional audio reaching roughly 800 blocks. The beam uses animated noise-based visuals.

Configuration

In atomicbreathrailgun-common.toml, you can set the blast radius from 10 to 500 blocks (150 by default) and the countdown from 5 to 300 seconds.

You can also toggle bedrock destruction and fuel requirements, choose allowed dimensions, exclude blocks from destruction, and adjust radiation duration and strength. Barriers and command blocks are excluded by default.

How It Works

1. Craft the Designator - Requires nuclear cores, diamond blocks, netherite and a dragon head
2. Place the Kaiju Strike Device - Right click to aim and place it in the world
3. Fuel It - Insert a nuclear core (nether star + end crystals + redstone blocks)
4. Start the Countdown - Shift right click to cycle between 3 timer modes then activate
5. Run.

What Happens

• Sky darkens as vortex clouds swirl overhead
• Blocks rip from the ground and spiral upward
• Massive beam fires from bedrock to sky with dynamic noise-based visuals
• 3-phase explosion carves a bowl-shaped crater with jagged edges
• Crater is lined with irradiated blocks that emit radiation and geiger counter sounds

Features

• Configurable blast radius (10-500 blocks, default 150)
• Configurable countdown (5-300 seconds)
• 3 color palettes for the beam
• Irradiated terrain - Custom radiation effect (not wither), green tint, proximity damage
• Full atmosphere system - Custom GLSL vortex clouds, block ripping physics, shockwave visuals
• Geiger counter ambient sounds near irradiated blocks
• Immersive audio - 11 sound events with 3D positional audio (~800 block range)

Config Options (atomicbreathrailgun-common.toml)

• Blast radius, countdown duration
• Destroy bedrock toggle
• Require fuel toggle
• Dimension whitelist
