Well, recently, I had some ideas for cannons. Might as well post them, right?
In my opinion, a metre-by-metre cannon "block" wouldn't look so well. My idea is more like a 1 x 2 painting, or a bed, in the way where, when placed, it would create two blocks that count as one (The end facing the player would be the back).
Cannons would be similar to Dispenser blocks; when right clicked, it would show a similar menu. However, cannons would only work with one item (I will describe this later).
For now, anyways, I'll explain a possible crafting recipe:
This was my first idea; the furnace being a dispenser, the mushroom being redstone, and the stick being a lever.
My second possible idea was this:
Like before, but with gunpowder instead of redstone (this is my prefered recipe).
It's somewhat costly, using an already fairly good tool, so each recipe might make two. (Please post your feedback on this).
The ammunition should be Cannonballs.
Cannonballs would be crafted out of four obsidian, and each recipe would make eight (or sixteen, maybe).

Cannonballs would be nearly the same thing when launched as a Ghasts fireball, but without the fire.
Cannonballs should not be too underpowered, but they should not be as strong as a creeper explosion or TNT. Maybe half or two thirds of the explosion radius of the creepers blast.
I'll probably try to make a picture of the two items soon, though i'm not great at pixel art.
Anyways, thank you for reading through my thread, and I hope you liked the idea.
=D Thanks!
EDIT: Naw, I'm no good at pixel pictures. If someone could make me one...that would be ridiculously awesome though =D
SDK had cannon blocks last time I checked. You can also search youtube for "MineCraft Turret", that is by far the best form of cannon/turret/block-item launcher I've ever seen. I think the mod was made by Djoslin. http://djoslin.info/download.php?file=Turret the direct download link
Ah, thanks for the feedback :biggrin.gif:
Also, I'm not really talking about modding...If it's a mod (which was probable in the first place), that doesn't really have to do with minecraft itself :/
I'm not a fan of downloading mods for minecraft, and anyways, Notch isn't too keen on putting mods into the actual game (Besides Pistons).
