Top 5 New CreativeMode Mods (Past 21 Days): Orbital Strikes, Laser Spyglasses, and More for Java and Bedrock

The last three weeks on CreativeMode have been pure chaos in the best way. Builders are turning survival worlds into test ranges, PVP servers into slapstick launchpads, and quiet mining trips into cinematic boss fights. If you love fresh content that changes how Minecraft feels without writing code, these are the five most-downloaded newly released mods on CreativeMode this January.

If your world needs a “press button, witness consequences” moment, the Orbital Strike Remote delivers it with style. This item packs three attack modes and makes switching between them feel tactical: crouch + use cycles the mode, and the current selection shows above the item name so you always know what you are about to unleash.

You can aim at a block up to 250 blocks away and fire, or switch to Coordinate mode to input X Y Z for remote targeting. The standout for reliability is Stab Shot, which consistently spawns primed TNT with a 10-tick fuse and no extra status effects. The other modes, including Nuke, are described as extremely destructive and the remote has no cooldown, so discipline is the real balancing mechanic here.

One important twist: the remote now behaves like Curse of Vanishing. If you die while holding it, it disappears and will not return on respawn. In other words, it is powerful, dramatic, and unforgiving.


TNT wemmbu stab shot (works but a bit laggy)

This mod’s description does not try to be subtle, and neither does the item. Stab Shot (Vertical TNT Rain) is an instant demolition event: when you use it, it creates a continuous vertical column of massive explosions spanning from Y -60 all the way to Y 350, appearing 20 blocks in front of where you are looking.

The key detail is how immediate it is. The explosions happen with no TNT entities and no delay, producing full explosion particles and carving out a huge vertical crater in moments. Each blast is listed as triple TNT power with radius 12, which helps explain why it is famous for being “a bit laggy.”

This is the kind of tool you use when you want to stress-test a world, create a dramatic before-and-after landscape, or settle the age-old Minecraft question: “What if the sky itself declared war on this chunk?”


Illegal block giver

  • Released: Dec 14, 2025
  • Downloads: 118 and spreading fast
  • Categories/Tags: Utility, Novelty Items, Survival Crafting, Legacy Blocks, PVP Fun, Bedrock

Some mods are about raw power. This one is about forbidden snacks for collectors and comedy knockback for everyone else.

Illegal Blocks Giver is a placeable block that, when right-clicked, gives you item forms of normally unobtainable or legacy blocks. It also includes four novelty tools (Stick, Sword, Pickaxe, Bedrock) that stack to one and apply an absurd Knockback 100 effect.

The Survival-friendly change is big: this version is now craftable in Survival at a crafting table, using the existing recipe but swapping the Barrier ingredient for a Netherite Block. Place it down, right-click to get the items, and then test the novelty gear. Hit a mob or player and they get launched in the direction you are looking. The sword still does modest damage, the pickaxe still mines, and the stick and bedrock are clearly meant as gag options.

It also works broadly: knockback is effective in Survival and Adventure, and it still launches in Creative (though very resistant targets may not budge as much). This is a mod that turns “utility” into a party trick.


Cyber Laser Spyglass

Cyber Laser Spyglass

  • Type: Item
  • Creator: kipiman2000
  • Released: Dec 20, 2025
  • Downloads: 90 and rising
  • Categories/Tags: Ranged Combat, Gadgets, Roleplay, Utility, Bedrock

Minecraft has bows, crossbows, and tridents. But sometimes you want something that feels like it came out of a sci-fi toolkit. Cyber Laser Spyglass is exactly that: a spyglass that lets you shoot lasers.

The lasers are designed to feel impactful without becoming constant spam. Each shot lasts 10 seconds, followed by a 10-second cooldown, which makes it more like a timed ability than a rapid-fire weapon. There are multiple colors, and each color comes with different effects, making it a flexible pick for players who want a specific style or a specific job for their gadget.

It is simple, readable, and surprisingly versatile: scouting tool, roleplay prop, or a clean “tech upgrade” for adventure maps that want a futuristic touch.


Obsidian Blade

Obsidian Blade

  • Type: Item
  • Creator: ratt
  • Released: Dec 17, 2025
  • Downloads: 70 and gaining momentum
  • Categories/Tags: Weapons, Melee Combat, Survival Gear, Vanilla-Style, Bedrock

Not every hit mod needs explosions. Obsidian Blade is for players who want a straight upgrade that still feels at home in Minecraft’s combat loop.

This is a non-stackable melee sword with 11 base damage and 1561 durability, used like a standard sword with familiar behavior in combat. The main change is a visual refresh: a revamped purple netherite-style texture with dark obsidian accents, giving it a more mystical, enchanted vibe without changing how you swing, hit, and fight.

If your world is more about dungeon runs and tense survival nights than crater-making, this one is an easy “equip and forget” addition that still feels special every time you pull it out.


Final Thoughts: Play Them, Then Build Your Own

These top five releases show what CreativeMode creators do best: turn one good idea into a world-changing item, whether that means long-range orbital targeting, instant vertical demolition, collectible “illegal” blocks, laser-powered gadgets, or a cleanly balanced combat upgrade.

Try a few in your next Bedrock or Java session, and if one inspires you, take the next step: open CreativeMode and build the mod you have always wished existed. The community is clearly hungry for fresh tools, new chaos, and smarter survival gear, and your idea could be the next one climbing the charts.
