📋 About This Mod

# The excitement of bombing things (in Minecraft) has just gotten a lot better!

With the Desolator, you can clear a massive sphere-like area in a matter of (laggy) seconds. ItsJim fans rejoice!

In order to create the desolator, you will first need to complete a few steps, and hopefully not die of radiation in the process.

This mod has custom advancements to guide you, but regardless, the features will still be mentioned below!
