    I recently did /warp cannons and went into the cannon shop.

    In both of these I noticed something which wasn’t in the Cannon’s guide.

    Rusty Cannons

    Aiming with a clock

    Dual Cannons

    You can reverse the way you point a Cannon by Crouching

    and that Mortars need an Iron pressure plate not a stone one

     

    I wanted to bring up the fact that the guide has missed some of these important things.

    _____________________________________________________________

    Rusty Cannon.

    I know barely anything about these other than they need a sign and grey wool.

    They can only fire Cobblestone which aren’t actually cobblestone cannon balls but a previously un-known projectile (to me and possibly quite a few of you) Shrapnel.

    Also the fact this can be created from the rank Cadets (and up) also surprises me not knowing this and thinking only Gunner could use, make and fire cannons.

    _______________________________________________________

    Aiming with a clock.

    This is one topic I haven’t tried but I would like to know more about as it also says the possibility that multiple cannons could be fired at once all in the same direction.

    This one also being talked about in the cannon shop doesn’t provide much information on how to use it.

    _______________________________________________________________

    Dual Cannons

    Again this I don’t know too much about as I saw this in the Cannon shop which could offer the chance of ‘rapid fire’ cannons maybe as one loads and the other fires maybe but I don’t know as I haven’t tried this either.

    Lack of information in shop too.

    __________________________________________________________

    Cannons to be reverse fired by crouching.

    I don’t know if others just found this out naturally or whatever but this really is quite important as I have always tried to build boats in a way you can aim a cannon on all sides but since I found out if you crouch and do it, it goes the opposite direction.

    So no more 3×3 walls with a cannon in the middle with grooves to go under it and blocks to see over it.

    But again this is lacking from the guide but not the cannon shop.

    __________________________________________________________________

    Mortars need an Iron pressure plate not a stone one.

    I don’t know if this is true or not but I was online listening to some people talk about Mortars and one guy put a stone pressure plate on top of his ‘Mortar’ which he was quickly corrected by people telling him it’s and Iron one- not stone.

    He then replied ‘this is what the website says to do though.”

    I do not know if this worked or not but if it does the website needs changing/editing.

    _________________________________________________________

    Thank you for reading this and if any of this can be explained, fixed or edited, this would help me and many other people having trouble with cannons, need tips or are just learning about them.

    Thanks.

    p.s. please post any information below I might of missed or may not know about, this will be news to me and if it isn’t on the guide it should be as well.

    p.p.s Try not to post anything related to any other responses unless if you provide more information on the subject of that item, got tips on how to use it or your correcting someone else or me.

    Are you talking about the website? Some of those things are only covered in the tutorials, I have definitely covered cannon types & aiming with a clock, The website may need updating with information though.

    This is the current cannons page: http://piratemc.com/guides/cannons/

    And this is the Wiki entry: http://wiki.piratemc.com/Cannons

    What this means is that anyone can create a Wiki account and update the content, and then if the page is better than the one on the current website I move over the text 🙂

    Cool but still the incorrect features in the guide talking about Mortars having stone pressure plate is wrong or needs one more thing.

    The bit about the mortar and the stone pressure plate was me.  At the time that it happened Markus got on the site and corrected the problem with the information on how to make mortars.  It was wrong on the site for a long time it seems.

    Raise your glasses, raise them high. Draw your swords, stand or die!
