StrikerLoad

Call down an orbital strike anywhere you can see.

Right-click a payload item to paint a target, and moments later something arrives from the build limit. Rings of live TNT. A column that drills to bedrock. A volley of arrows that ends whatever is standing there.

Built for Paper. Folia supported. Fully open source.

Payloads

Payload	What it does
Nuke	Concentric rings of TNT dropped from the sky, detonating on impact
Stab	A vertical column of TNT from bedrock to build limit, fired top-down
Railgun	A delayed volley of high-damage piercing arrows
Wolf	Airdrops a pack of angry wolves onto the nearest player
Darkness	Blinds everyone in range — except whoever pulled the trigger
Stasis	Marks a point and yanks you back to it after a short delay

Every payload's size is configurable, per item. Hand someone a 3-ring nuke or a 20-ring one; they're the same item with a different yield.

Setup

1. Drop the jar for your version into plugins/
2. Add this to spigot.yml — this step is not optional:

max-tnt-per-tick: 1000000

Without it the server throttles TNT spawning and most of your payload will quietly never go off. Purpur and Pufferfish have their own TNT limits worth checking too.

3. Restart, then /strikerload give nuke

Commands

/strikerload give <payload> [player] [size]
/strikerload strike <payload> <x> <y> <z> [world] [size]
/strikerload reload

Aliases: /sl, /strikeload

---

Permissions

Everything defaults to deny. Nothing is handed out until you say so.

Node	Grants
strikerload.admin	The /strikerload command
strikerload.use.*	Every payload
strikerload.use.<payload>	One specific payload
strikerload.bypass.cooldown	Skip the recharge timer

Per-payload nodes let you give out the fun ones without handing anyone a nuke.

Before you open this up to players

This plugin destroys terrain. That is the entire point, and it will do exactly what you configure it to do.

• Set worlds: in config.yml to an explicit list. Empty means everywhere.
• The safety: section caps how many entities a single strike can spawn. The defaults are deliberately conservative. Raise them on purpose, not by accident — a mistyped ring count without those caps can take a server down.
• TNT is attributed to the player who fired it, so WorldGuard, CoreProtect and similar can block and log it normally.
• Consider testing on something that isn't your live world first.

Folia

Supported on every version listed, from the same jars — there is no separate Folia build.

This isn't a compatibility flag. Charges are scheduled onto the region that owns each drop position, every charge tracks its own impact, entity work runs on entity schedulers, and shared state is concurrent throughout. If you don't run Folia, none of that matters and nothing changes for you.

Versions

Minecraft	Jar
26.2	StrikerLoad-x.x.x-mc26.2.jar
26.1.x	StrikerLoad-x.x.x-mc26.1.jar
1.21.11	StrikerLoad-x.x.x-mc1.21.11.jar

Separate jars because 26.1+ requires Java 25 while 1.21.11 runs on Java 21 — one file genuinely cannot cover both.

Paper and Paper forks (Purpur, Folia). Not Spigot or CraftBukkit.

Open source, and verifiable

Licensed AGPL-3.0-or-later. The full source is public. Anyone may use, modify and redistribute it, including commercially — but any modified version that gets distributed, or that players interact with over a network, has to stay open with source available.

Every release is built by GitHub Actions from a tagged commit. The build log is public and checksums are published with each release, so you can confirm the jar you downloaded is what the source produces:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt

The build also runs an automated audit that fails and blocks the release if the source contains any means of granting operator status or permissions, executing commands on someone's behalf, making network requests, spawning processes, or loading code dynamically. Those aren't promises in a description box — they're enforced on every single commit, and you can read the check yourself.

No telemetry. No update pings. No analytics. This plugin does not know the internet exists.
