The gun in Minecraft is a simple structure consisting of solid blocks, a trigger mechanism and a dynamite block. It deals good damage and can kill the enemy with one blow, while destroying the enemy siege mechanisms. The gun has low mobility and does not pose a threat to enemies with high maneuverability. The gun is often used when playing in multiplayer mode and on PVP servers.
How to build a TNT gun in Minecraft?
When creating this device, any solid blocks can participate: stone, boards, grass briquettes or diamond blocks. This does not affect the impact power. In this case, diamonds should not be used, as they are too valuable and do not justify the cost. An ideal option would be to use Edge Stone blocks or Obsidian Hells. You can also use blocks with increased resistance and explosion resistance. When asked about how to build a TNT cannon at Minecraft, you should be guided by the parameters of fortress and accessibility. That is why most guns are made up of stones, cobblestones and related materials.
Before making a TNT gun, you need to build a platform. It should be in the form of a trench and a length of 8 blocks. On one side, wires and a lever (button) are attached, which starts the mechanism. On the other hand are several red torches and a holder. It is important to set the maximum delay, otherwise the projectile will not be able to fly far and explode in the air. After these steps, you can start the TNT gun.
Cool TNT gun: how to do it?
Minecraft provides for the creation of more complex mechanisms. An ordinary siege weapon can be turned into a death machine, firing multiple shells at once. In this case, the creation process will be significantly complicated, although the efficiency will also be increased.
To increase the speed of the shot, you must configure automatic reloading. This is due to the fact that the player is physically unable to restore TNT supply faster than the mechanism. A piston or distributor can solve this problem:
- The piston unit will automatically push dynamite out of the explosive storage, providing a high rate of fire and projectile range. To do this, add ejector blocks: sandstone or a block of ordinary earth. In this case, the strength and explosion resistance of the material does not matter. Using this system, you can simultaneously send up to 12 pieces of shells, which will ensure success in protecting or destroying an enemy fortress.
- Using a distributor is less efficient, but not as costly as buying an expensive piston. Before you build a cannon in Minecraft using a distributor, you need to stock up on a bucket of water and increase the stability of the platform. Inside the trench, it is necessary to fill in the water, because of which the dynamite blocks will themselves go to the barrel of the weapon. Efficiency is ensured by reloading between shots up to 0.8 seconds. For this type of gun it is necessary to stock up with a large number of consumables and shells.
"Chaos Cannon"
How to build a TNT gun in Minecraft with the highest destructive power? Take advantage of the invention of the famous minecraft EthosLab. The technology is simple and destructive. The only negative is that it is disposable. To create it, you need to replace the trench blocks with dynamite. After the launch, the destruction process will begin: everything, including the installation itself, will be destroyed at a distance of up to 1000 blocks.
Long-range guns
Ideal for battles in which the enemy is at a distance of more than 100 blocks. Allows you to run dynamite at a distance exceeding the view of the player. To create such a gun, it is necessary to create a multi-level building with several floors. The higher the tower is built, the greater the distance the projectile will fly. The construction system is the same as a conventional gun, but a ladder is required to run the entire installation.
