TNT CANNON
A cannon that uses TNT charges to launch a TNT projectile over long distances. Water prevents the charge TNT from destroying the cannon. Timing is critical, the projectile must ignite after the charge.

Step-by-Step Build Guide
- 1Build a channel: 1 wide, 1 deep, 4-8 blocks long.
- 2Place water at the back of the channel (protects the cannon from charge explosions).
- 3Place dispensers along the sides of the channel, loaded with TNT (these are charges).
- 4At the front of the channel, place one dispenser facing up or forward (this is the projectile).
- 5Wire the charge dispensers to fire first (all simultaneously).
- 6Wire the projectile dispenser to fire 2-4 ticks AFTER the charges (use repeater delays).
- 7The charges explode in water (no damage), launching the projectile TNT forward.
- 8Press the button to fire. Adjust delays and charge count for range.
