This needs to be combined with a red-stone computer so that you can do the coordinate calculations in-game.

[@iPlayGamesX]

I don't think you'd really need a computer, moreso a specialized circuit. I'd needa take a look at the program behind it tho. Edit: Looked into it and it requires one multiplication per axis (so two, one for X and one for Z) because each tnt doesn't give exactly one block of propulsion so you need to adjust for the propulsion coefficient. It's possible to go for 0.5 blocks per tnt and just do a binary bitwise shift, but that's tnt inefficient. All you need to do after that is adjust for the coordinates of the cannon (a simple subtraction or addition of it's coordinates to the original input) Very doable

The Orbital Strike TnT Cannon knows where chunks are loaded at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting coordinates from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate an Excel spreadsheet to drive the anvil from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is.

As best as I can tell, when entities enter stasis in the Redstone Only Chunks, they still have interactive qualities, thus how the payload gets its angle set, its the victim of dozens of explosions that apply acceleration to it, similarly however, things entering said chunks still have their momentum processed for the single tick that sends them in, so they move appropriately deep When that momentum is in the unreasonable values that lead to moving possibly thousands of blocks a tick, you get the murder cannon's final result

Lone targets can be tracked over time to determine their approximate speed and heading, which can be used to distinguish slow ground troops from rocket-propelled elytra.

Hey Cubicmetre! Really impressive cannon. I was wondering if it would be possible to shoot enderpearls with this cannon as well. That would basically make it a teleporter, although the chunk would have to be loaded sadly

[@cubicmetre]

From what I can tell enderpearls count as a projectile, like arrows, because they use raycasts to see if they collide with things so they can activate unique effects like the teleportation. This raycast will actually try to load intervening chunks which for a cannon this powerful will just instantly crash your game. We can get away with firing anvils and TnT because they actually won't perform collision checks in unloaded chunks vastly improving their performance.

[@santiagojimenezpinedo3473]

Ok, with the first cannon I was very impressed, being able to aim with that was amazing, then you give another cannon better than the old one, and I said, ok, I don't think there would be an improvement, and if yes, the improvement wouldn't be so much; and now you come with this, you are insane!

I really hope doc is paying attention to your channel. This is the perfect weapon with which to win the anvil war.

[@sarchlalaith8836]

Hello Cubic, this is amazing, brilliant, you did it, a directional cannon you combined with your railgun. Oh, one thing Coarse adjustment, rather than course.

[@syrelian]

Technically both words work here, Coarse is the opposite of Fine, but also it is the primary definition of the course of the shot

[@sarchlalaith8836]

​@@syrelianit's coarse and fine... And you're thinking of trajectory anyway.

[@ThereIsNoSpoon678]

This is beyond insane. I understand the basic design and theory, but to get it to work in practice? And so accurately! Wow, amazing.

I don’t know much about video game playing but you kids are crazy. I clicked on this video thinking someone made something that looked like a laser out of video game legos. Nope, it’s a real laser in a video game made of blocks like the Atari games. You kids are talented.

This is gonna be used in some survival server war, whoever constructs this weapon will have an incredible advantage being able to precision missile strike the enemies from so far.

[@yaboikiba4302]

The fact that you can put a payload on stand-by until someone logs into that chunk so it blows them up the frame they appear is both impressive and the biggest war-crime you could have possibly commited.

[@Haaaaaaaa_]

very cool, how long did this take to develop, and are you working on even more sophisticated versions at the moment?

[@NovemberOrWhatever]

This looks really, really cool! If I could suggest a feature, maybe make it capable of receiving two target points and firing on every block between them for automated destruction? It looks devastating

[@light-cy3eo]

fantastic idea

[@ATOM-vv3xu]

he dumpes those out so quickly cuz they aren't new, only not well known to most minecraft players so basically he is showing off principles that others have thought him (and obv. does not give credit clear enough, since I see a lot of confusion about that in the comment section) in his first video about cannon tech he mentioned, that the tools he uses to create the cannons (and his knowledge) are provided by the tnt archives though it should be mentioned that the factions and wargear servers also are familiar with what he is showing so far (and more) idk if he even built this cannon alone (I estimate that he could build this cannon in 3-20h since he knows how to do it before)
