OrbitalStrike v2.0.0 — Break Change

What's New

This major update brings full support for Minecraft 1.21 through 26.1.2, along with long-awaited fixes and performance improvements.

Features & Fixes

• Cooldown System The cooldown setting on cannons now actually prevents firing until the timer expires. Set it in cannons.yml per-cannon.
• Safety Limit — Nuke strikes now cap at a configurable maximum TNT count (max-tnt-per-strike in config.yml, default -1). No more accidental server melts.
• EMP Shockwave reworked — Smoother visual effects, better performance, and more reliable block destruction.
• Permissions overhaul — orbitalstrike.use now defaults to true so all players can use cannons by default. Granular craft permissions (orbitalstrike.craft.*) have been added.
• Crafting recipes now require permission by default — Server owners must explicitly grant orbitalstrike.craft.<recipe> to players.
• Fixed cannons.yml configuration — The item and settings sections now use proper YAML format.

Bug Fixes

• Cooldown field now actually works (it was defined but never checked)
• Fishing rod cannon tools can no longer accidentally cause issues when fishing
• Fixed several cases where the plugin would crash with ClassCastException on certain item types
• Plugin no longer leaks memory over time (fixed listener registration)
• Improved error messages for missing targets, invalid materials, and blocked regions
• Fixed EMP particle effects not rendering on Paper 26+

Performance

• Nuke strikes now have a configurable TNT cap (max-tnt-per-strike in config.yml, default -1) to prevent server lag.
• EMP shockwave effects are significantly more performant
• Overall particle effect handling has been optimized
