Single-block configurable nuclear blast with cinematic effects, scorched terrain, and survival-balanced crafting.
Items & Blocks
- Atomic Core — A craftable nuclear explosive block. Primed with flint & steel, fire charge, or redstone. Crafted from Nether Stars, TNT, a Shulker Box, and Blaze Rods.
- Singularity Core — A black hole generator block. Same activation methods. Crafted from Eyes of Ender, Nether Stars, Dragon's Breath, and an End Crystal.
- Remote Detonator — Right-click a nuke to link, then right-click air to detonate remotely (same dimension only).
Entities
- PrimedNuke — 10-second animated countdown with escalating flame particles, beeping sounds, an air-raid siren, and a heartbeat in the final 3 seconds.
- NukeCloudEntity — A ~70-second mushroom cloud with shockwave rings, expanding fireball, stem column, cap formation, falling ash, lightning strikes, and weather changes.
- BlackHoleEntity — Multi-phase singularity (Fuse → Forming → Pulling → Critical → Detonate) that rips blocks from the terrain, attracts entities, and eventually explodes. Pull radius up to 900 blocks.
- FloatingBlockEntity / FloatingChunkEntity — Individual blocks and terrain chunks spiraling into the black hole with tumbling physics.
Core Mechanics
- Nuclear Explosion — 500-block blast radius (configurable up to 2000), 32-block deep crater, expanding pressure wave, thermal pulse (fire ring), EMP (destroys redstone), and cinematic speed-of-sound delayed boom with reverb echoes.
- Black Hole Explosion — Absorbed mass (up to 50,000 blocks) amplifies the final explosion radius by up to +50%, with unique warden sonic boom and implosion particles.
- Fallout System — Contamination zones that block crop growth, apply radiation (Poison) to entities, and mutate hostile mobs. Naturally decays over time.
Client Visual Effects
- White flash overlay (2048-block detection radius)
- Screen shake on detonation
- Nuclear winter sky darkening (5 minutes post-blast)
- Contamination haze (reddish-brown fog)
- Heat shimmer distortion near active clouds
- Gravitational lens bending near black holes
- Wilson condensation dome (white vapor hemisphere)
- Heartbeat + FOV pulse during final countdown
- Falling ash & debris updraft particles
Configuration
Extensively configurable via nukecraft-common.toml — blast radius, crater depth, fuse time, fallout strength/duration/thresholds, particle budget (up to 500K/tick), all visual/audio effects individually toggleable, shockwave speed, thermal pulse radius, EMP radius, and more.
