Cannons

What can it do?

Cannons is a highly configurable plugin which allows you to fire block build cannons. It is possible to aim and load different amounts of gunpowder to hit targets at different ranges. The power of redstone makes it possible to set the gun to auto load and activate the rapid fire mode. Choose your projectile from a broad spectrum of cannonballs and smash the enemy.

With Cannons 2.0 you are also able to design your own cannons using .schematic files and give each cannon their own settings, as well as different types of projectiles.

Features

• Build a cannon out blocks
• Design your own cannon and save it as .schematic
• Design and fire different projectiles to smash your enemy
• Use redstone to fire guns from distance
• Rapid fire with auto-load possible
• Destroyed blocks can be restored with CreeperHeal (if 'custom' option is true)
• Cannons will stay load and aligned due to the database
• Movement plugins (e.g. Movecraft) are supported if a cannon has a sign to store a tag
• API for ships plugins (e.g. iSails) to use cannons on ships without signs.
