🔍 About

Create: Nuclear Shell is a high-impact expansion for Create: Big Cannons that introduces devastating nuclear artillery capable of catastrophic destruction and lingering radiation effects.

Designed for end-game progression, PvP warfare, large-scale sieges, and apocalyptic modpacks, this addon allows players to craft and launch nuclear shells using Create-based technology.

Once detonated, the shell unleashes a massive explosion, ignites secondary firestorms, and irradiates the surrounding environment, leaving dangerous fallout zones behind.
