The New and Improved Orbital Strike Cannon 

"I am become Death, the destroyer of blocks" - Cubicheimer

We get closer and closer to a nuclear treaty in Minecraft every day

This is unreal. Never thought id see the day where tnt cannons share more similarities to an icbm than to an actual cannon. Making a whole guidance computer to launch tnt is unreal and I applaud your efforts!

Mojang: We removed fireflies because they are apparently poisonous to frogs in real life, and since Minecraft has always been a faithful adaptation of the real world and its laws, we don’t want to promote death of innocent lives, and thus made this decision. Meanwhile, the redstone engineering community:

Everyone is talking about the cannon, but seriously no one wants to congratulate him for graduating? You really deserve it, and I gotta say that your videos are always inspiring to me before I entered the university until now as a second year Computer Engineering student. They improve my critical thinking skill a lot. Thanks for your hard work through the past years!

this man is literally oppenheimer in minecraft. and he keeps coming back with more

15:20 Imagine the clickbait possibilities with that degree. "Engineer creates a NUKE IN MINECRAFT?!?! 😮"

For anyone trying to paste the schematic into their world. The Minecraft safety feature at the middle of the machine (the redstone line with several mine carts and gold pressure plates) gets stuck without updating. You need to remove and place the comparators at the corner of that line for the machine to work.

Considering there's currently a war going on rn in my mc server this will pretty much end the war instantly, the best part ngl tho is that it's hard to find due to the range, and even if you find it you need the excel spreadsheet to work it meaning that at worst enemies can only destroy it, not use it against you

At this point it's basically a war crime machine.

Congrats on graduating! I’m in my third year of mechanical engineering and I couldn't imagine also working on youtube and also majoring in physics. That’s absolutely insane! Congratulations.

Y'know if there were to be a 5.0 version I'd love to see how it could handle deep underground targets or something like attacking the side of a mountain.

Now that's just nuts. All that's needed now is a command center that can control multiple silos simultaneously.... By the way, is there a way to fire the nukes from under water? Nobody ever explores massive oceans, so it's a pretty safe space to hide a laumcher.

As an orbital strike cannon I can confirm that this video does indeed have at least one orbital strike cannon

Hello! I know this comment is a bit late but I just had a really cool idea. Using this system, but instead of firing tnt, it would fire a chest minecart. If it could survive the explosion, it could be used to instantly transport large amounts of resources to a specific spot without the need to constantly go back and forth, utilizing shulker loaders then then get filled into the minecart!

Mechanical Engineer AND physicist??!! Damn man that's awesome congratulations! I hope I get to that point in the next 4 years but only with informatic engineering 😅. I found your channel some days ago but I admire you and the way these proyects are working and growing because of you. Thank you so much for the content and motivation

Now I'm just waiting on someone to build a redstone computer that becomes self-aware, builds a bunch of orbital nuke cannons and takes out all life on a server...... and when it starts to lose the war, it auto loads a back up (Goes back in time)..... and first tries to take out the person who was pivotal in the fight back.

Some suggestions: 1. More settings. Cannon 2.0 could allow very intricate designs to be made, such as the mushroom cloud nuke, or the penetrator nuke, which is very practical for striking underground bases. This version does not seem to have the customization capabilities that the other cannons do. Maybe design a mod that replaces the command center in the nether with a more customizable one. 2. Sending arrows/potions. Sure blowing things up is fun, but fully destroying someones base is generally against gentleman's rules on servers. HOWEVER, killing a person is an unavoidable aspect of the game. Maybe we could design some mods for the cannon that allow potions or arrows to be sent. (I know potions are a technical nightmare, since they generally break when hitting a block, but I'm thinking an implementation similar to an enderpearl stasis chamber) 3. Sending inventory entities. By making the cannon be able to send an entity such as a chest minecart, we can send items to anyone within the cannon's area of effect anything we want. setting up a chunk ban for a friend has instantly become 100 times easier. Maybe your friend died 2000 blocks away but u have their items. Now you can send them instantly, without having to fly back or wait for the friend to walk to you. 4. Key code/Auto destruct. The way I see it, if I'm going to build a $40 billion dollar machine (wether in real life or in a game) I want only me and my allies to access it. This can be done with a keycar/ autodestruct. First I could break a piece of glass in order to self destruct the cannon manually. Also, I would have a keycard which would be inputted in the first chest minecart in order for it to launch. Now an enemy could just find the sorting hopper and copy whatever is in there, so I'm thinking we surround the sorting hopper in a semi-stable observer loop that any change to will activate. (what I mean by this is find a way to make an observer redstone clock, without having it create an infinite loop, then, have observers inside the loop that will detect if the loop ever goes off and will destroy the cannon.) 5. Update the cannon to work on newer versions. Many servers and players are starting to switch over to newer versions as their mods are being updated. Also, newer versions add calibrated skulk sensors, which have interesting mechanics which I think can be implemented in the cannon. P.S. Congrats on you degree!

This is an absolutely fascinating piece of Redstone engineering that keeps getting better and better the more you add upon it! The original nuke launcher OSC already blew me away (no pun intended), but I didn't even know you could add so much more to it, such as scheduling multiple consecutive launches and all! I also absolutely adore how much like an actual nuke/ICBM launch sequence this feels like. A completely concealed, underground bunker contraption that slowly prepares a payload, sets certain specific velocity for it to be milimetre-precise and as accurate as such a weapon requires to be, then taking it up into the stratosphere and *launching that bad boy away to obliterate any target and send it flying sky high!* Also congratulations for graduating, you have a lot of potential as an _actual_ engineer.

You're creations get better and better every time, genuinely so impressive cubic 👏

one of the most impressive things i have ever seen done in minecraft redstone, almost wish i could learn how to build it but more importantly understand how it works.

Australian technology really fascinates me

Congrats on graduating! And btw what an awesome cannon, it keeps getting better every time. This guy is pushing the boundries of what redstone can do every day. I love your videos, keep with the good work!

this feels so much like a modded tnt video but actually real, you're so talented congrats! Also congrats on ya degree ya genius!

everyone in a server is going to be building one of these to keep the peace

dang, super impressive video. It's crazy what you can do on the technical side of minecraft

Do not let 2b2t players see this

We have gone from a TNT cannon you have to build to fire a single piece of TNT a few chunks, to precision chunk removal and nuclear annihilation from anywhere in the world!

I think it’s criminal to not have a Oppenheimer reference

Incredible video. Always hyped to see the Orbital Striker Cannon improving. This is just incredible. Also congrat for graduating : )

Double majoring mech. Eng. and physics!? You are amazing! I’m in my first year of engineering and some of my classes have like half the people fail by the end of the term. Uploading these videos as well. It’s inspiring resilience, I hope to have even a little bit of the drive you have.

I've said this as a sub-comment already, and I'm not sure what your life plans are now, but do a PhD! You'd fit right in. Your research, exploration, understanding of complex phenomena, problem solving, and communication skills all will translate extremely well - I honestly thought you were doing one already from the way you talk.

Now I really wonder the possibility to send an entity with a similar cannon at any coordinates. Could either be sending a lama with a chest to send stuff anywhere or sending some monsters (Or an alternative chunk ban which is far more dangerous, tho I'm not even sure if chunk banning even work in version after 1.17)

imagine if you had a tnt pattern to precisely delete a chunk. it would be so cool but probably impossible, but I like to be proved wrong.

I would love to see Doc use this on Hermitcraft

These are my favorite minecraft videos and I'm so happy every time I see you post, thanks for posting just in time to help me through finals week

I'm actually so excited to see your Orbital Strike Cannon in sipover's civ

Another excellent machine from a wonderful machinator, congratulations on graduating!

Great video! That's such a cool design! Congrats on graduating!!!

congrats for graduating!! keep up the good work, this thing is awesome!

As someone who is in college for aerospace engineering, I commend your successful education in this rigorous field! Cool bomb though, may need to build it on a server im on.

This is amazing!! I want to build it in our survival server, unfortunately it runs on paper though. Do you know what causes paper to patch it? We've managed to get TNT duping and bedrock breaking unpatched, so I would hope it is possible to also get this to work on paper by tweaking a couple things maybe? Not sure.

First video of yours I have watched and I'm super excited for what's next and congrats on accomplishments give yourself some love for all you have done ❤

Congrats on graduating! Your content has so much quality on it! You're amazing!

Hypothetically, if you could figure out a way to make this thing iterate through multiple adjacent coordinates in a grid pattern with stab charges it could be used to automate perimeter construction.

"Geneva convention?" "More like "geneva suggestion"!"

Yooo, congrats on graduating, your vids are so cool, taking game mechanics and physics to the extreme

Yoooo... congrats on graduating :D, You deserve all the luck in the world your redstone machines are insane!

Congrats for your degre!! I graduated yesterday in mechanical engineering, so I'm twice impressed you graduated in phisics too. I've got a problem with the cannon though. Everything seems working, until it doesnt. When the loading ends, i /tick freeze, and I can see the TNT is holding inside the powder snow, when i /tick step i can see it moving slighty in direction of the target because it still appears nearby. Then nothing happens. The target won't blow up and if i /tick step again the TNT disappear

Who else came from Wemmbu?

First of all: cool that you have graduated, congrats. Second: I would really like to see the carnage of multiple factions on a PvP Server with Raids that all had multiple of these ICBM-like contraptions and what base designs the players would come up with to ether withstand such a blast or whatever.

Great design man that’s awesome! Just letting you know that in excel you can add a dropdown menu option for that first cell to make selecting the cannon mode easier

These are all interesting improvements, but the “multiple strikes” one is what interests me. Could you use that feature to turn this into a remote perimeter digger?

Is it possible to use a players flame arrow, tnt and an armor stand to auto locate the player not requiring any inputs? Using the game mechanic where tnt lit by the players flame arrow explodes things in the opposite direction of the player who shot the arrow? Doing it twice in different locations to get the both the direction and distance?

Congrats on graduating!! The cannon is insane I could only wish to be able to build that sort of thing

So good! And congratulations!!! Sadly most people will still want an easier version than this, but this is incredible work!

Is the civilization video up yet or is it going to be posted soon?

@cubicmetre Do you think that the orbital strike design may eventually become the most popular method for creating perimeters? This machine seems so much more efficient than typical tnt sweepers!

You got me so hyped for Slipover's video now! You are insane!

Great job on the cannon and your degree!

i love the improvements to the cannon, and congrats on the degree! however, the new version is quite large and complex, and also still uses tons of stained glass & concrete in the schematic. I really liked how you used stone bricks & otherwise only the necessary blocks in your latest version of the Infinibore, and i'd love to see the same treatment for the orbital strike cannon :) also, the multiple different types of payloads, and the piston door on the top of the cannon are cool, but if i were to build this in survival i'd be fine with less fancy features if it meant it was easier/cheaper to build, so some mention of what parts aren't 100% necessary would be helpful; i.e. i don't think the piston door & the blinky light ring are absolutely critical to the functioning of the device, just a hole in the ground & a solid redstone lamp could work.

I wonder if it's possible to build an orbital strike splash or lingering potions cannon.

I did not realize you graduated, fantastic job!! :D

congrats! On both your cannon and graduation! You are an great inspiration to me.

Is there a way to add a third payload thats just an anvil?

If you'd want to continue the idea of teleporting tnt, would you like to try to make a cannon that will fire an ender pearl and tnt(just to load the chunk) to teleport to any position in the world, most notably, the world border. I still don't understand this topic enough to even try and do that, but I think it is possible, the ender pearl would have to be in the powdered snow to lose all momentum, tnt doesn't because it'll explod immediately, but it'll have to be inside vines so it won't load thousands of chunks. I think alligning pearl and tnt as well as giving them the same momentum might be complicated. Also for giving the pearl chance of dropping down you can can shoot more tnt each with 1 tick delay more starting from 0 to load the chunk for longer if I understand the mc physics correctly

Congrats with the graduation!!! Also the cannon is crazy cool!!

Congratulations on graduating dude love your effort

How far does the operational radius go in vanilla before the game crashes or is inoperable? I recall some problems with trying to strike targets too far away, at which point the cannon would take too much time to load and/or crash the game. p.s.: Congrats for graduating!

Could you have a feature where you can automatically program where the cannon is and have a map wall that can be used to track players. To kill a player, click a map and that entire chunk will be instantly nuked

I just can't believe how well made this is, ur amazing man

Loved the video @cubicmetre! Can't wait for the next video man! Saw this come up on my feed and after having seen your Artillery Build, I knew I just had to see it! Imagine using this in Servers and Launching a Tactical Nuke in Minecraft! This might be even more Devastating if you had Fleshcrafter's Lucky TNT Mod installed. On that note, the 5× TNT and the TNT Fireworks TNT Blocks would be Plenty as the 5× TNT is 5 Times Powerful than the Vanilla TNT Blocks while the TNT Fireworks TNT Blocks literally make it rain TNT Blocks. There's Plenty of other blocks in the Mod that'll be interesting to see being used with this Orbital Strike Cannon. Belated Congratulations on Graduating University man!

Теперь Заквиель снова будет строить новую пушку😂

Question: what’s to stop a nearby player from accidentally loading the cannon’s chunks during the firing sequence? Another amazing redstone build as always btw🙌

1.BIG CONGRATULATIONS, I hope you are very proud of your achievements! 2. I am simply amazed at the engineering of this device and it well surpasses my redstone prowess, incredible.

DUDE CONGRATS ON GRADUATING!!! im also getting my degree in a couple days, but youre studying physics AND mechanical engineering? you should be hella proud!

do it works on "paper" or "Purpur" or "pufferfish" core's ? p.s. with tnt dupers and tnt dupe per tick enabled high enough

Thanks for giving me ideas to start a minecraft war : ]

WOAH, TWO DAYS? amazing! good luck! also this cannon should be accepted as a thesis honestly

Congrats on graduating! Great redstone videos to :)

Congrats for graduating mate ALSO HOLY HELL THIS IS ALL I HAVE EVER WANTED

Congratulations and amazing build!

Wait, this one's underground? Perfect. Actually perfect. Thanks mate. Also, congrats on graduating!

Congrats on graduating! Def deserve, this vid was fire

Congrats on graduating!

Congrats on graduating! I'm on the same path myself. On another note, I'm just waiting for someone to come up with a canon that can automatically create perimeters anywhere from just one spot

Hey broo! Congratulations on graduating!!🎉🎉 I knew you were smart as f bc of your videos, but engineering and physics? Thats on a whole other level. I wish you the very best on your career! And try not to stop posting content!🎉❤

Congratulations on Graduating! I hope you enjoy mechanical engineering/physics and continue your interest in minecraft redstone.

This is beyond genius. I cant believe that someone could push the game's creativity to this extent. Congrats on graduating bro

Awesome and congratulations!

Just when you thought the orbital strike cannon couldn't get better... Also congratulations on completing uni!

oh god btw congratulations on graduating :D

Congratulations on graduating man!

Nice job with that mech e degree, it really puts ya through the wringer

this man is the cause for majority of server ends

This is terrifying. Can't wait to build it. Congrats on the graduation!!

Congrats, thx soo much for your effort!

This may be the first time I ever saw your channel but congratulations on graduating.

Idk what’s happening but I know it’s impressive as hell. Also, congrats on graduating!

You are just amazing. How you do all this and your real life achievements too, Wow! Bravo, Sir.
