How To Properly Use The OSC (Orbital Strike Cannon Mk 6.1, By Cubic Metre) | Minecraft Redstone

Storyline / Overview

This video provides a detailed guide on how to properly use the Orbital Strike Cannon Mark 6.1 (OSC 6.0) in Minecraft using Redstone and various mods. It focuses on setting up the cannon, loading schematics, aligning chunks, configuring control panels, and firing the cannon safely while avoiding common pitfalls.

Gameplay Highlights & Step-by-Step Guide

Setup and Placement

Use the Lightmatica mod to paste the Orbital Strike Cannon schematic into the Minecraft world.
Teleport to specific coordinates (e.g., 180 1184) to place the cannon correctly.
Load the schematic with “create placement” checked, then move out of the schematic area.
Load and place the control panel schematic at a different coordinate (e.g., 10,000 160).
Use F3 + G to ensure chunk alignment between the cannon and control panel.

Required Mods and Commands

Install Carpet TIS Edition for optimized entity movement.
Run the following commands:
- /carpet optimized fast_entity_movement true
- /gamerule spectatorsGenerateChunks false
Be in spectator mode to allow the cannon to function properly since it uses unloaded chunks.

Activating the Cannon

Enter the portal in the cannon setup and break blocks as needed.
Use the schematic placement tool (keybinds like M + O) to adjust and delete schematics if necessary.
Turn on specific levers without changing the passcode levers to avoid misalignment.
Flick the main lever only when fully ready to activate the cannon.

Using the Control Panel and Excel Fire Control

Download Cubic Metre’s Excel spreadsheet called “OSC 6.0 Fire Control” to input target coordinates.
Input target X, Y, Z coordinates carefully:
- The Y-coordinate is critical; often set to a negative value (e.g., -60) to ensure proper firing height.
- Do not change the passcode values in the control panel or spreadsheet.
Adjust parameters such as nuke size, stab depth, and type if desired, but keep the passcode consistent.

Firing Process and Observations

Use commands to freeze/unfreeze game ticks:
- /tick freeze
- /tick unfreeze
The cannon builds a payload via TNT duping machines and piston mechanisms.
The payload is massive, consisting of thousands of TNT blocks stacked/glitched together.
The cannon fires in four directions, sending the payload flying.
The trapdoor and comparator system in the cannon indicate whether the cannon is active and functioning.
Avoid switching to creative mode during firing as it can blow up the cannon.
Turn off chunk loaders if you don’t want to see the cannon in action.

Common Issues and Tips

If the cannon doesn’t fire, check:
- Correct input of Y-coordinate in the fire control spreadsheet.
- Proper use of Carpet TIS Edition and that optimized fast entity movement is enabled.
- Chunk alignment and spectator mode settings.
Keep volume low during firing due to loud TNT duping sounds.
Use a fishing rod (demonstrated later) to interact with the cannon safely.

Key Tips & Strategies

Always use the exact passcode and do not alter it to avoid control panel mismatches.
Proper chunk loading/unloading and spectator mode are essential for cannon functionality.
Use the Excel fire control spreadsheet to precisely input target coordinates.
Monitor the trapdoor and daylight sensor indicators to confirm cannon status.
Be patient during payload building; it involves complex TNT duping and piston movement.
Avoid creative mode during firing to prevent catastrophic cannon failure.
Adjust Y-coordinate carefully to control where the payload detonates.
