yeah, I did it. I made a fully automatic TNT cannon in minecraft. If you want to see it, you can connect to my hamachi server.
Hamachi group: baldeagleminecraft
Pass: 12345
Ip: 5.231.209.148:25566
It uses a piston reloading mechanism to fire up to 10 shots in a row! pirates can connect. (speaking of which, the Pittsburgh Pirates are in second place
)
Everyone who connects should be able to see a demonstration.

yeah, mine uses a reloadable one as its base, but it took a few days and multiple designs to get this working.
@sep, fine, I'll move it there. A mod can close this now.

It'd be funny if there was so much Minecraft stuff on the forums they were moved to their own section.

Before the official topic, that's pretty much what the Misc. section was.

TNT cannon
Bit laggy, but what went wrong at the begining? Was just just because there was a cow in the way?

I remember I saw a video where someone made combustible lemons. NO JOKE.
This made me think of it.

combustable lemons? Isn't that a portal reference or something?
And were they a mod or a blocky lemon shape filled with tnt?

I don't remember.
Yes, it's a PORTAL reference, but I don't know if it's a mod or not, since I didn't study Minecraft. I think it was a blocky lemon shape, but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. The cow shouldn't have made a difference, because that was just my emergency trench. On occasion, it fires a weak shot that lands in the trench and not blow up the whole thing.

Thats how you make a cannon without the modded in pistons, the new ones don't throw blocks like the originals.

Yeah, I know.
I've also found that sticky pistons can't pull stacks of other sticky pistons, which is rather annoying.

A sticky piston can move an unextended piston (sticky or not) but its not possible to pull a stack of anything.

Looking at the bedrock, it was probably gifted?
lol didn't you see to the end? I used TMI to get glowstone. and I also admitted it. It's a flatgrass world and there is no lava for obsidian, no glowstone, no sand, no iron, etc. the only stuff would be dirt and mob drops.
