How Do You Make a Cannon in Minecraft?
Last updated
Ever wondered how to build something super cool in Minecraft, like a cannon? Let’s dive into making a cannon that’ll spice up your Minecraft adventures!
So, how exactly do you craft that awesome cannon you’ve been dreaming about? We’ve got the steps right here.
The Short Answer to Building a Cannon
Creating a cannon in Minecraft involves using blocks, Redstone, and TNT. You’ll align blocks to form the cannon’s base, use Redstone to ignite it, and TNT as the cannonball.
First, you’ll need to gather your materials. For a basic cannon, you’ll need blocks (like stone or cobblestone), Redstone, a button, water, and TNT. The blocks create the structure, Redstone triggers the explosion, water prevents the cannon from exploding itself, and TNT… well, that’s what flies out!
Making a Cannon Step by Step
Here’s a breakdown of the steps to build your Minecraft cannon:
- Build the base of your cannon using your chosen blocks. A common size is about 8 blocks long.
- At one end, place water inside the base. This prevents the cannon from blowing itself up.
- Line the other end with Redstone, leading up to where you’ll place your button.
- Position TNT inside the cannon, leaving space at the water end.
- When you’re ready to fire, press the button! The TNT ignites and shoots out like a cannonball.
Feel free to get creative with your cannon design. Experiment with different sizes and materials to see what works best for you.
