I would like to to see more uses out of the Gunpowder in this game. Right now it's only used for TNT and I think it could be great for other things.Including: The Fire-lance
"The fire-lance weapon was constructed around a common pike. Attached to the end, however, was a cylinder that would shoot flame towards the attacking enemy. This was a very effective weapon that could keep an enemy at arm's length. The fire-lance itself would also evolve. It was eventually used not just as a hand held flame thrower but as an early rifle that could fire projectiles from the cylinder. In reality, it was not really a rifle because the projectiles did not fit the chamber. Yet this weapon could be used to spray shrapnel at the enemy, causing damage to a larger number of attackers.As you can see from the tenth century Buddhist painting at left, there is clear evidence that fire lances and even early grenades were being employed fairly early. In the painting, the Buddha is being attacked by demons of the evil goddess Mara the Temptress, who is trying to distract the Buddha from attaining enlightenment. This image indicates that Chinese alchemists had created a proto-gunpowder that was powerful enough to be used in such weapons by the time of this print. The Chinese, as masters of invention, found many uses for gunpowder, such as cannons, mortars, and multi-stage rockets."
Also, how about a way to make your own Gunpowder using Charcoal? Or perhaps an easier way to reproduce Gunpowder?These ideas are a work in progress but hopefully they are a start to something better. I am sorry if this isn't any different than another thread. I didn't see anything quite like this so hopefully it's okay. I also apologize about the font as I got to fix that. What's the default format?
It's from a website and the section said something about a Fire-lance pike from the Chinese. I was looking for more uses of the gunpowder because it doesn't have much a point in the game other than TNT. If we had more uses for it then it wouldn't be a problem. I like the idea of splash potions by the way and I did not think of that.
So basically, you want to add cannons to minecraft. I don't know if I support this or not. Cannons would be cool, but we can make them with tnt. I don't think we would need any more uses for gunpowder though.

I'm not opposed to cannons.
In fact, I made a thread about actual cannons.
Didn't really go that far.. But... Yeah I made one.

And what's up with the quote? Is that supposed to tell us what the weapon's details crafting recipe are?
And we don't need a way to make more Gunpowder.
If they're apparently so useless, why would we need even more uselessness?
Stay fluffy~
If it was easier to make.. it wouldn't be so useless.. then I could actually make tnt on a regular basis for my mining activities.....
