Information
Basic Info
The PHA (Peacemaker Heavy Artillery) is a long-range TNT Cannon with adjustable arc functional in Vanilla Minecraft. The gun has 30 propellant charges and 40 projectiles. This turret can be used as an anti-capital ship weapon to engage at distances beyond that of more conventionally designed guns. It's also capable of dishing out a highly damaging blow against most targets due to its ability to lob a heavy shot of 40 TNT towards an enemy. The shell of the gun and gun barrels are for both aesthetic purposes in order to cover up unsightly exposed Redstone and for protection if the gun is shot at by another TNT cannon.
The original "Peacemaker" was an Imperium design lent to the Kingdom of Iridium by I believe Altair. This version aims to keep the original appearance but is completely redesigned from the ground up in order for it to work in 1.14+.

The central timing mechanism for the gun is a pulse extender. How it works is that when the turret is powered by the Redstone torch tower underneath it, the propellant is dispensed. Upon powering the turret, the comparator clock is also locked preventing it from dispensing projectiles too early while a delayed signal is sent to the back of it. When the power turns off, the comparator clock is unlocked and the delayed signal stays on for a period of time turning the comparator clock on dispensing projectiles. A falling edge detector is attached to the piston and a delay wire so that when the signal to the gun goes off, the falling edge detector sends a signal to the delay wire and quickly extends then retracts the piston to control the arc.
The point at which the projectiles are at while they fall as the piston retracts when the propellant explodes is what determines the arc/trajectory of the gun. The longer the pulse is given to the gun, the later the piston will drop and thus the higher the trajectory. The shorter the pulse is given to the gun, the lower the trajectory. Because the projectiles are in mid-air when the propellant explodes, the blast force from the propellant TNT is unhindered by anything and allows the gun to reach much longer ranges with less propellant than most guns that use slabs or other mounting blocks for their projectiles.
The central timing mechanism/pulse extender is outside of the gun and can be wired to multiple turrets in order to adjust the trajectory and fire multiple turrets at the same time with the same trajectory.
An extra feature of this gun is the piston propellant condenser which aligns all the propellant into a single line to improve the accuracy of the gun by reducing the horizontal spread.
Movecraft Compatibility
The turret is compatible with the Movecraft plugin and can be mounted on airships or as a stand-alone rotating turret if you wish to use it for base defense. The subcraft rotate sign in the gun allows you to rotate the turret when right-clicking it or left-clicking it if Movecraft is installed.

Plugin Requirements ( None / Optional )
No plugins are required for the cannon to function as it is a purely Redstone device. However, the cannon can be used on Movecraft warships with their turret feature to allow it to face in different directions. Some servers that run Movecraft are ToTheEnd, Airship Pirates, and Strangelands.
Terms of Use
