Orbital Strike Cannon

Yo ExtremeCraft staff and players! We really need to talk about switching some of our survival servers from Paper to Fabric. Right now, the way Paper "optimizes" TNT and redstone totally breaks the coolest builds, like the Orbital Strike Cannon. It’s super frustrating because these machines only work with normal vanilla physics, and Paper basically deletes the physics we need just to save a little bit of lag.
Also, don't worry—the Orbital Strike Cannon is just for show and technical fun! It can’t destroy claimed land or even unclaimed land on the server because of the protection plugins. It’s just an epic piece of engineering that we want to see actually fire.
Bonus Idea: If we switch to Fabric, we could even use a mod to bring back the Far Lands! We could have a special warp or a zone way out past the ExtremeCraft Expandable World border where the terrain gets all glitchy and cool like the old days. It would be an awesome "exploration challenge" for the community!
Fabric lets us have Vanilla Parity and epic glitches like the Far Lands without the server crashing, thanks to mods like Lithium. Technical players are getting held back, and switching would let us finally build the epic stuff we see on YouTube. Let's make the server better for builders and engineers!
