How do I add colored smoke to my cannon?

Place concrete powder of any color into the cannon's inventory alongside your gunpowder. The cannon will produce colorful launch smoke matching the concrete powder shade when it fires.

What does attaching a chain to a cannon do?

Attaching a chain locks the cannon in place and prevents it from rotating, keeping your aim fixed in one direction. This is useful for stationary launch setups.

Can I change how my cannon looks?

Yes, place decorative building blocks into the cannon's inventory to customize its cosmetic appearance and match your build style. Different blocks create different visual effects.

Does the cannon consume gunpowder when I use it?

No, gunpowder is not consumed—it stays in the cannon's inventory and only controls the launch distance. You can reuse the same gunpowder indefinitely.

Can I use redstone to automate cannon launches?

Yes, send a redstone signal to the cannon to launch whatever is loaded (TNT, anvils, or nearby players). You can wire it to repeaters, buttons, or other redstone devices for automation.

What surfaces can I place a cannon on?

Place the cannon on solid ground—check that the block below is solid and stable before placing. Avoid placing it on sand, gravel, or other unstable blocks that might shift.

Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a

cannon?

Craft a

cannon using wood logs and cobblestone (both accept their standard tags). Check the crafting recipe in your crafting table or inventory for the exact layout and ingredient count.

Why isn't my

cannon launching me?

Make sure you've placed gunpowder in the

cannon's inventory (right-click to open it), then step inside the barrel and press Spacebar to launch. The cannon must be facing the direction you want to travel.

How do I control how far the

cannon shoots?

Add more gunpowder to the

cannon's inventory to increase launch distance—the mod uses the amount of gunpowder loaded to determine shot power without consuming the item. Remove gunpowder to reduce the launch distance.

Can I launch other players with a

cannon?

Yes, other players can be launched by sending a redstone signal to the

cannon while they're nearby. You can also launch primed TNT and anvils the same way.
