About
Orbital+ adds modular, fishing-rod- and command-controlled orbital systems inspired by cubicmetre’s and the Unstable SMP’s designs. Its Orbital Strike Cannon deploys nuke or stab attacks at a targeted location: nuke styles include default, mushroom, compressed, and redstone, while stab patterns include default, square, circle, and star. The Orbital Wolf Cannon summons wolves at the target, the railgun fires high-velocity arrows that can one-shot entities, and the stasis system teleports the player to coordinates stored on a rod, either the player’s current position or custom coordinates. Orbital actions can be triggered with special rods or commands, and players can choose vanilla fishing-rod behavior or Unstable Rod Mode, in which bobbers persist and stay tied to their rods rather than their players. In Unstable Rod Mode, separate rods can operate multiple mechanisms, and stasis chambers continue working after the player dies, leaves the server, or the server restarts. Settings allow players to adjust activation delays and tune system behavior, including nuke size, stab depth, railgun projectile count, and the number of wolves summoned. Players can also store up to eight strikes in a magazine and fire them simultaneously or sequentially. Additional server features include configurable global death sounds, distance-limited chat and join, leave, and death messages, and permissions for controlling who can use orbital commands.

No harmful code found
We checked its files without running them.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21.5 to 26.3.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.8 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 8 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read in 4 of 8 files, without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends, in the 4 of its 8 files we read
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of 4 of 8 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
