Cannons
What can it do?
Cannons is a highly configurable plugin which allows you to fire block build cannons. It is possible to aim and load different amounts of gunpowder to hit targets at different ranges. The power of redstone makes it possible to set the gun to auto load and activate the rapid fire mode. Choose your projectile from a broad spectrum of cannonballs and smash the enemy.
With Cannons 2.0 you are also able to design your own cannons using .schematic files and give each cannon their own settings, as well as different types of projectiles.
Features
- Build a cannon out blocks
- Design your own cannon and save it as .schematic
- Design and fire different projectiles to smash your enemy
- Use redstone to fire guns from distance
- Rapid fire with auto-load possible
- Destroyed blocks can be restored with CreeperHeal (if 'custom' option is true)
- Cannons will stay load and aligned due to the database
- Movement plugins (e.g. Movecraft) are supported if a cannon has a sign to store a tag
- API for ships plugins (e.g. iSails) to use cannons on ships without signs.

Posted Sep 6, 2012@Seoxiwleto Glad to hear that you like my plugin. The API interface with Movecraft is still not available, but I am in contact with the developer.
To reduce the effect of maximum gunpowder, set the maximum barrel length to a lower value. The bigger difference between max and min length the more influence. So if you set min/max length to the same value you will have no length effect.
At the moment I am programming another plugin. This time something less destructive. It is going to be something with minecarts, rails and path finding. More about this mysterious plugin in a few days :)

Posted Sep 5, 2012Hello, Pavlov! Came back to minecraft and this was the second mod I downloaded. I still love what you've done!
My cannons aren't staying loaded with movecraft; did something happen to the API? o.o
Also, cannons now seem to take gunpowder proportional to how long they are; Are you planning on adding an option to make this optional? It really makes it hard to make cannons that aren't long impractical unless I set the max length really low ><
Thanks again, and keep up the awesome work - I'll keep blowing things up in the meantime.

Posted Sep 5, 2012@99soren You have to load the cannon by clicking on the barrel with gunpowder and a projectile (e.g. stone, cobblestone, ...) Look into the config for more infos about projectile.

Posted Sep 4, 2012@Curtis4321 I think you have a different plugin to destroy obsidian. I really recommend ObsidianDestroyer (I use a modified version with a small code piece for cannons). Please don't use ObsidianDestroyer and CreeperHeal in combination. To activate ObsidianDestroyer set Cannons: true, Durabilty: true and the amount of explosions necessary to blow up obsidian. Note further that the superbreaker ability is necessary to destroy obsidian. Use e.g. a diamond as projectile
The modified ObsidianDestroyer version by Squid:

Posted Sep 2, 2012@Curtis4321 Use ObsidianDestroyer. I don't know if the latest official version works but the one below works. I have screwed up the compiling so it is little bit big :)

Posted Sep 1, 2012@Sicarius531 You want to turn it off? Best set the min and max length of the cannon to the same size. I hope this works.

Posted Aug 31, 2012@DevPavlov No, i mean the fact that if the barrel is longer the more gunpowder you can put into it. I've got a Skyblock server with DailyBonus and Autocraft, so i dont want my players to struggle for iron to increase their range.

Posted Aug 28, 2012@Zauber555 Cannons works with the worldguard 'tnt' flag. Regions that are protected by this flag will have zero explosion power. So allow the flag for global regions and deny it for special regions or the other way around. Look also in the config there is a protection hook entry.

Posted Aug 26, 2012@bukkitdevJC If there is no player in the between the castles the snowball will stop flying. But I can give you no exact range. If you have a line of players between the castles you should be able to hit the other castle. Can be a little bit tricky to test.
This is a minecraft updating problem because chunks are not loaded and so on. There is a fix for minecarts but I was not able to solve the problem for snowballs.

What if you have two castles that are far apart, there is no limit to how far the castles can be apart. The cannons can reach them no matter what distance?
