Basically, it's a player-placed entity about the size of a chest that doesn't take damage from explosions and can be launched from a cannon just like you can launch lit TNT, except it is much lighter, meaning it can go farther than lit TNT.
Only difference being, it breaks blocks that it hits. The faster it moves, the stronger the block it can break, with dirt/gravel/sand being soft and bricks being hardest. Obsidian is immune.
It also does damage to players that it hits, again based on its speed.
Uhh... I think you might want to make it Iron Cubes or something like that. HAS TO BE BLOCKY! Anyways, I love this idea! Also, it should also be able to break blocks around it like exploding TNT but smaller, so that they're more "destructive". That's assuming that it will be used for TNT cannons...

I haven't even bought MineCraft, I don't have the money...
Yes but I assume this one will be easier to launch than a block of tnt which requires you to build a huge launcher, which is not really worth it cause you can just place tnt on the walls of your enemies castle. Plus by the time you have built the cannon to take out that castle at range your enemy has probably seen you and is coming to kill you and break your cannon. Hopefully this projectile would be easier to launch. Possibly you make an iron cube launcher, which you place on the ground like a minecart, you sit in it and punch the air where you want to shoot, it launches the the iron balls from your inventory, they are effected by gravity so aiming is key. The launcher can be broken and picked up again.

Yes, but only TNT ones. A blunt projectile would actually be kind of neat.
