Information
Basic Info
The BMG (Behemoth Medium Gun) is a TNT Cannon with an adjustable arc functional in Vanilla Minecraft. 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 turret is shot at by another TNT cannon. This gun is intended to be used as an upgrade to the Behemoth's main guns as in the current version of Minecraft, the Behemoth's original TNT cannons no longer function. This gun is intentionally made to be generally lower in strength to keep it somewhat within reasonable power of the era the Behemoths served in during the Airship Pirates series. Adjustable trajectory gives a massive combat advantage as the guns are not limited to a fixed target area and can be readily adjusted by the change of a repeater.

Nerd Stuff
The central timing mechanism for the gun is a pulse extender. How it works is that when the gun is powered by the Redstone torch tower underneath it, the propellant is dispensed. When the power turns off, a fading edge detector sends a signal to the projectile circuit to dispense the TNT projectiles. A separate repeater train is sent to the pistons which control the arc of the gun. The pulse extender acts to determine when the piston will extend and when it will drop. The projectiles when dispensed will sit on top of the extended piston and drop when the piston retracts.

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 guns in order to adjust the trajectory and fire multiple guns at the same time with the same trajectory.

Movecraft Compatibility
The gun is compatible with the Movecraft plugin and can be mounted on airships or as a stand-alone cannon if you wish to use it for base defense. This gun is primarily designed for older generation large combat vessels of Royal Navy/Lanier size standards such as their Behemoths.


Stats
    • Max Range: 200-210m (200-210 Blocks)
    • Projectile: 3x TNT per gun
    • Propellant: 9x TNT per cannon

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.
