Are you the creator of this idea? I know on get satisfaction it was john hall. But either way, I 100% support this. I was hoping that a mod for it would come out, but apparantly not. So the suggestion will do.
Edit: One last thing. Can I make a suggestion? IRL, the goal of a ship was rarely to sink another as the materials for the other ship would go down and then they would be unattainable. So the chain shot (or bar shot, they were popular too) was invented to take down rigging and masts. We should implement it into this as well. Maybe two stone balls and an iron bar in the middle? That would make the bar shot. What do you think?

Yes, I'm Jonathan.
In the idea, it's possible to try and target certain parts of the ship (e.g, the propulsion system) to disable the ship. That's why you see health bars on the sails on the ship's GUI. I'm also fairly certain that I put in a cannon's ability to change angle.
If you also read the amendments, I talked about additional ammo types. I'm pretty sure chain shot is in there too.

It's already been thought of That reinforces my hope in humanity! You've really got all of your bases covered don't you
10 people! I've edited the OP to include details on the mass tweet. Good luck, and remember, August 22!
no THANK YOU
I hope this idea sees the square light of day because this will add a whole new level to MC (maybe NPC pirates XD) also I hope we get canons to match them nice boats
I support this idea, with me loving sailing and all. Alas, I have no Twitter, so I can't partake in the mass Tweet. I wish you luck, and I'm really hoping that it'll come to fruition.
I may have a friend who has Twitter, who may be able to Tweet this. I'll ask him and post back later.
Spamming their twitter accounts will do one of two things: Make them pay attention to this thread and consider it as a possible feature, or really annoy them. I'm betting on the second. They do check these threads (there are numerous examples of suggestions being put into MineCraft), so if you want them to notice, have a good enough idea to keep your thread alive.. Sending it once in a while is okay.. but five minute intervals? You sound like obnoxious children hitting on a window pane and screaming for attention.

Naw. And here's why:
Mojang's Twitter accounts get flooded with mentions every day. And I mean *flooded*. If you were to send 1 tweet to them, within 8 seconds it would get *instantly* buried by a ton of other tweets. Nobody will even be aware of your tweet's existence.
By having 11 people fill their mentions list with tweets, there is a chance that *at least* one tweet will be seen.
You're giving us suggestions that we've already tried and failed. I myself have tried tweeting to them alone, but like I said, it got buried. 'Once in a while' will not suffice. And this post has been around for about a year now. Ya think they'd have seen it by now? They don't check the forums as often as you may think.

I like the idea! I read up more on the first page of the thread and saw the redstone/steam engine. I think both should be added. The powered minecart does have a steam engine on it.
The only problem, I'm sure you've seen this a couple times, is Mojang favors simplicity. Then again, look at potion making in this game. Blueprints does simplify it though. It should just ask what supplies you need.

Yeah they picked up pistons from the forums and fence gates from, where was it again? Oh yeah! Get satisfaction. Now they done closed up that forum and the theory behind that is because there are many, MANY posts from them directly (some from Notch himself) stating "Coming for sure but it may take a while" or "We are going to make a system where you can change your user name" or "We are planning on adding a mod API" and literally over a dozen more I could list yet now absolutely none of those are planned. I'm sure there could be other reasons but that's the most likely one.
You clearly haven't heard their take on ideas. "We don't mind people sharing ideas but it's not as if they've run out of them or something silly like that. It's not what the forums are there for, it's just a feature." That's almost word for word what Marc said about ideas. Mojang doesn't give two shits about them and hardly has the time to sift through all of them. Jon only hopes to bring it to their attention and if it appeals to them maybe they'll consider working on adding something similar.
You hardly needed to be rude and talk down to them... I almost forgot what forum I was on. Yeah that's acceptable behavior here, my bad.

Open to ideas eh?..... I want teh boats to have laser cannons so I can sit on the front and be all like "Im firin mah lazer!" and heat seeking missiles and jet engines and a helipad and a huge gun that fires rabid monkeys at the other ship so they attack the people and eat their faces off and a sandvich cart because pirates is hungry! That's such an awesome idea right thar. Can you add that to the OP? =P

Perfectly fine! I'll get to work on the OP, and then details on our glorious mission will follow later.

- Minecraft is not a medieval game (Not mid-evil). Note that there were no music discs, jukeboxes, TNT, or blue jeans in the Middle Ages.
- How are cannons OP? Good luck trying to hit a player with one.
I appreciate criticism, but not when one's reasons are poorly thought out.
