A catapult is used to throw mobs or players several blocks away. It basically works like a one-block dynamite cannon, tossing an entity across a distance, either vertically or horizontally; the problem is that you take normal fall damage when you land. Careful, too! If it doesn't have enough room to toss the victim, it'll just squash them, dealing a few hearts of damage
The distance it tosses you is dependent on the strength of the redstone signal. Full strength means maximum distance.
Redundant. Please use the search function in the future to make sure your idea is original.
My idea is original, at least in the sense that it's completely distinct from the Blockapult. Did you actually read the post you were accusing me of imitating before dropping your accusation?
His block-o-pult is essentially a modified Dispenser that converts loaded block into specific, various kinds of ammunition. It's designed to be used in... I don't know. Elaborate warfare? Cheaper, faster mining?
My catapult is a modified piston that throws entities (i.e. mobs, players, and mobile items like boats and minecarts). It was designed for more efficient one-way travel, especially vertical travel.
Anyway, they're two completely different items, even if they have marginally similar names.
Support. Minecraft NEEDS something like this. Possible uses:
A method of transporting loot AND killing mobs for a mob trap. (for example, mobs walk on top of it, it flings them to a drop point, they die of fall damage)
A method of sending items to other locations. Judge the distance, use the catapult, and place a hopper then chest for where you want it to land.
A way to transport yourself. This would include placing a puddle of water on the landing area, then launching yourself.
