Sunray

So… remember the Obsidian Wither Rifle? Or more specifically, the Nether Star I used for its creation. I have a confession make here: I couldn’t let it go. I sent another research team of 10 heavily equipped interns to retrieve a second Nether Star. I had a plan that had to be tested.

And they succeeded!

…he succeeded.

It had to be possible to create a weapon out of this that wasn’t powered by raw evil! I spend days turning it over in my head and I think I finally found a way to harness its power safely:

The beacon is the key.

The answer was surprisingly simple: A beacon! They were fully capable of using a Nether Star’s power without corrupting the user. In fact, they even did the opposite and buffed anyone within range, with its light shining into the sky.

The result was obvious: A beam weapon with unlimited energy.

The Sunray is drawing its power from sunlight. It recharges after each shot. This was done via daylight sensors, built into the top of the obsidian frame. The beacon itself had to be heavily modified to increase its focus intensity.

As a price of this, however, the beacon has lost all buffing power. Not that it matters. I don’t think it can run out of power at this point, assuming it gets enough light.

More research may be required.
