Frequently asked questions

How do I craft the Stab Shot orbital strike weapon?
You need four TNT blocks and one fishing rod. Place them on a crafting table to get the Stab Shot, using the layout shown in the recipe screenshot on this page.
Why can't I craft the Stab Shot in my inventory grid?
The recipe is made on a crafting table, not in the small 2x2 inventory grid. Set down a crafting table and arrange the four TNT and the fishing rod there.
How do I actually fire the Stab Shot?
Hold the Stab Shot, aim at the spot or mobs you want to hit, and activate it the same way you would use a normal item. Then get back to a safe distance before the blast lands.
Can I use the Stab Shot more than once?
No, it is a single-use weapon and you only get one strike per item. If you want several strikes, craft several and bring extra TNT and fishing rods.
