Place and arm an N² mine, trigger it with a remote, or use the laser designator to call down a missile carrying the same payload. The designator saves an exact target, so you can stage a ground strike or an airburst without the explosion snapping to the terrain.

With the custom Photon integration, fire, smoke, dust and vapor rings are volumetric. Shockwaves push clouds apart, the missile leaves an opening as it passes through them, and clouds and fog obscure the explosion. A small star flare and subtle screen darkening add to the missile’s approach.

The optional 2 MT Cinematic preset creates a crater roughly 500 blocks across. Excavation runs in batches and preloads upcoming chunks, allowing destruction to continue beyond the player’s loading radius. It clears water and overhead structures while preserving bedrock, containers and protected blocks.

Visual-only launches let you enjoy the spectacle without destroying your world. Press F9 to adjust the effects.

  Requirements

  • Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1
  • Java 21
  • Fabric Loader — tested with 0.19.5
  • Fabric API — tested with 0.116.17+1.21.1

    For volumetric effects and cloud interaction:

    • Iris 1.8.8+mc1.21.1
    • Sodium 0.6.13+mc1.21.1
    • The custom Photon-N2-v1.3b-1.3.0 shaderpack 

      Stock Photon does NOT provide this mod’s cloud integration. Without the supported shader setup, the mod uses its standard effects.

      Servers need the mod and Fabric API; shaders are installed on observing clients.



      Note:
      Large craters take time to finish. Surrounding water can flow back afterward.
