Remotely Firing Artillery Mounts and Cannon Carts

Firing via the Scope Interface

Once your cannon barrel is aligned and the green muzzle reticle rests directly on your target, you can discharge the weapon directly through the scope view. Click the Left Mouse Button to fire the cannon remotely. You do not need to stand adjacent to the artillery piece, nor do you need to wire physical redstone lines or levers to the mount. If desired, this remote firing trigger can be reassigned to a different configurable mouse button in your keybind options.

Mount Compatibility and Remote Operation

This remote aiming and firing procedure works identically across all supported artillery platforms, including:

• Original cannon mounts
• Fixed mounts
• Compact mounts
• Cannon carts

Because character movement inputs are completely locked while the scope overlay is active, you can safely position your character in a high observation tower, an enclosed bunker, or a distant fortification while operating active field artillery or compact cannon carts downrange.
