So, I tried shooting those new fire charges from the dispensers, and it is lots of fun.
But... It shoots pretty randomly, so it isn't very useful for "bombarding" a target. I think the projectiles should be affected by gravity too.
I suggest a new block, very similar to the dispensers. The difference would be that when right clicked, you could adjust the strength of the shot, the pitch (angle up and down), and the yaw (angle sideways). You could also then load the gunpowder, and the projectile. It would be powered by redstone as usual, and it would give off a bang sound, depending on the power level of the shot. Would be great for targeting places exactly.
To balance a bit, I think it should require gunpowder to shoot at higher power levels. The power levels should go from 1-100%, where...
-20 to 40% costs 1 GP to shoot
-40 to 60% costs 2 GP to shoot
-60 to 80% costs 3 GP to shoot
-80 to 100% costs 4 GP to shoot
Does it shoot random? I think it just shoots strait forward.
Hmm. I think it should retain some of the "random scatter", so it isn't OP.
Perhaps it could be optionally "weighed down" with obsidian/ steel blocks, to make it "heavier", to reduce the "random scatter".

What do you think!?

Retired StaffDoes it shoot random? I think it just shoots strait forward.
perhaps.. But I don't like the word cannons. They just feel out of place. But yes you are right, that is pretty much what they are.
Have you seen dispensers fire the fire charges? They themselves look like cannons. I just want to be able to aim that kind of devastation.
