I've been able to build a 20 charge cannon that will fire a TNT block beyond the draw distance before it explodes, but I can't convert it to fire Steve. I've heard rumors that "something" changed in 1.8 that spelled the end of the cannon, but I can't find any comprehensive threads on it.
Has anyone been able to build a cannon that can launch Steve since the update? If so, can you post screenies of your design so I can see where I'm going wrong?
I'm pretty sure it's no longer possible. Even cannons that fire active TNT don't launch nearly as far as they used to. =/ I understand why they put a limit on the amount of TNT that can be fired at once. But why did they have to mess with the physics?
I'm fairly certain it's still possible, I remember watching a few videos of survival friendly player launchers that were done post 1.8.2 but for the life of me I can't remember who made the video. I know Pakratt has some good cannon designs and in the next update (1.9) the 8 charge Lilypad launcher works (with good armor and blocking with a sword :P)

I'm sure there's way my friend, try doing some research on solving this or find a YouTube video. But, as said before, they might actually not be able to fire as far as before c:

It sounds like you're referring to post-1.8 designs on PC though. I don't think Mojang changed TNT physics the way 4J has.
