Cannons in Minecraft can be made in various sizes and shapes. They are often used during combat in a multiplayer game. Be careful when building the cannon, you may die.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Mini Cannon
In order to make a compact cannon, you will need 4 dispensers, 2 red dust, 1 red torch, 1 button, 1 water bucket, 1 fence and 4 TNT for shots. The cannon will shoot at short distances and detonate TNT in the air.
- 1 Place 3 dispensers opposite each other.
- 2 Dig a 1x1 hole in the middle, fill with water.
- 3 Press Shift to place the block on the back of the dispenser.
- 4 Place the dispenser at the top in the middle (see. drawing).
- 5 Place the red torch on the back of the dispenser.
- 6 Place 2 red dust on the ground to the left and right behind the dispenser.
- 7 Dig a hole in front of the water block, put a fence in it.
- 8 Press Shift to place the button on the back of the dispenser.
- 9 Place 1 TNT for each dispenser.
- 10 Press the button to fire.
Method 2 of 2: Big Cannon
This is a large cannon that works the same way. It shoots a long distance and explodes just before falling to the ground. You will need 8 dispensers, 4 red repeaters, 1 bucket of water, 14 blocks of your choice (sandstone, for example), 1 slab, 1 button, 14 red dust, 8 TNT for shots.
- 1 Select a target, place the slab so that it looks in the direction of the target.
- 2 Place a row of 10 blocks to the right of the slab.
- 3 Place 2 blocks to the left of the back end of the row, and 1 on top of the left block.
- This shape will look like a large J.
- 4 Place the 7 dispensers so that they are facing the left of the cannon.
- 5 Place 2 blocks on top of one another on the left front end of the cannon.
- 6 Place the dispenser to the right of the cannon wall, on the front side, so that they point towards the stove.
- 7 Place 4 red repeaters along the wall, flush with the distributors.
- 8 Put the repeaters on full charge.
- 9 Place the red dust along the wall of the cannon by pressing the shift key on the dispensers.
- 10 Place blocks of water on the back end of the cannon channel.
- 11 Place the button on the rear center unit.

Tips
- There are many ways to create a cannon, take a look at the Youtube site.
- Test the cannon before the fight to find out how far it shoots.
- You don't have to place the cannon in the middle of a clear field, you can build it into a castle wall, for example.
