IDK if this topic was posted already but here it goes.
I was think about how challenging and confusing it was to build a TNT cannon on a hardcore PVP server then i though why should there be actual TNT cannons.
By combining a piston with redstone, gunpowder, and a repeater, it would make a cannon that would be two blocks high and one wide. It would shoot small bombs the player has to load into it that wouldn't have very big blasts, maybe the size of a Ghast bomb that makes a 2x2x1 crater.
If the player wants to move it, they would have to destroy it and place it somewhere else. But if it is not facing the object, the player can push "E" to enter an interaction screen so they can load it and turn the barrel where ever they want. They could also control the distance it shoots by holding the fire button and releasing it when the cannon reaches the desired strength. (Much like a bow and arrow)
This just came to me because of all the awesome uses it would have. Destroying forts on Multiplayer, making hostile mob traps, creating caves in mountains. and maybe even launching the player somewhere. LOL
IMO? Yes it would work very well. Maybe the projectiles could be dynamite sticks, crafted by placing a single tnt block in the crafting grid, receiving 9 dynamite sticks.

Not necessarily. It's a part of the game in Harcore PVP server. It's preference though. And you dont have to use it for griefing, you could use it to mine and build traps like I said.
I didn't mean it as a serious feature. It would just be a fun little "easter-egg" for the game.

What do you guys think? Would it work?
Why not? I could see myself using it to grief.:rolleyes:

That would work too.
Griefing is a bad thing, and I agree with Jow.
