About this project

What does Nukes add?

Nukes Mod Title

Bring unimaginable power to your Minecraft world with Nukes. This mod introduces a range of deadly explosives, from simple high-yield bombs to catastrophic nuclear weapons capable of reshaping the landscape in seconds. Whether you want to test your engineering skills, wage large-scale battles, or just watch the world burn, this mod delivers the firepower you’re looking for.

Features

• Multiple bomb types, ranging from compact charges to massive nukes

• Massive explosions with realistic blast radii that can level mountains or wipe out cities

• Custom ores and materials used to craft advanced weaponry

• Full redstone compatibility, allowing bombs to be triggered with redstone, timers, or automation

• Balanced crafting recipes to ensure powerful items require effort and rare resources

Important

This mod requires a lot of RAM, especially for the higher-performance versions! This is because, at one point, the Nukes destroy over 1 million blocks at once!

I would personally recommend sticking with the medium-performance version, as running the higher-performance ones requires an extremely powerful PC with a lot of RAM.

You can find Uranium Ore in the Overworld between heights -34 and -64, and Plutonium Ore in the End between 0 and 30.

Please let me know by commenting if you have any ideas for improvements or suggestions on what to add or change!
