Overview of the Project
Wither Skull Cannon multiround is a Minecraft datapack and mod created by sudhankar321. Listed under the Equipment, Miscellaneous, and Utility & Quality of Life categories, the project introduces a destructive orbital weapon system that allows players to summon massive patterns of wither skull projectiles.
Instead of firing individual skulls, the cannon let loosees multiple rounds of large blue wither skull rings. When deployed, these circular waves of projectiles spread out across a large target area. The resulting explosions cause heavy destruction to the surrounding terrain and are powerful enough to break even obsidian blocks.
Acquiring and Firing the Cannon
To access the weapon, players must obtain a specialized activation tool. The project provides this item through a dedicated in-game function command rather than standard gameplay methods.
Players can grant themselves the item by entering the following command:
/function wscm:give/wither_m
Executing this function places the special fishing rod directly into the player's inventory. Casting this custom fishing rod activates the orbital cannon, triggering the multiple rings of blue wither skulls that spread across the environment.
Performance and Terrain Warnings
The project is intentionally designed to be highly destructive, and the author provides explicit cautions regarding its potential impact on gameplay performance and world environments:
- Massive Destruction: The widespread blast patterns can cause extensive damage across terrain.
- Client and Server Load: Because the attack spawns a large number of simultaneous projectiles and explosions, firing the cannon may cause temporary frame rate (FPS) drops on client computers or server lag on weaker hosting systems.
