Understand the Difference Between Stab and Nuke Shots

Stab Shot: Vertical Drilling

The Stab Shot creates a deep column of TNT explosions that drill straight down through the block you target. This is ideal for:

  • Mining through mountains and dense terrain
  • Creating vertical shafts quickly
  • Reaching deep underground resources
  • Clearing tall structures from top to bottom

The explosions travel in a narrow, focused line directly beneath your crosshair.

Nuke Shot: Wide Area Blast

The Nuke Shot spawns a ring of TNT high in the sky above your target. The explosives spread outward in a wide radius before detonating in a massive blast. Best for:

  • Clearing large surface areas
  • Flattening terrain
  • Destroying structures across a wide zone
  • Creating dramatic landscape changes

The nuke radius and spawn height are both configurable, so the exact blast size depends on your server's settings.

Choosing Your Strike

Use Stab for precision and depth; use Nuke for area denial and wide destruction.
