Long Range Cannon in Minecraft (4594 Distance)

UPDATED VIDEO link at start of video. Found out trapdoor gives heaps more range. Scythesabre's newest railgun, nicknamed Big Bertha for it's awesome range. I believe this is a record, the next closest I saw was 35XX. I use a modified faithful 32x32 texture pack. As testing went on I got lazier with expanding the firing range so it ends up shooting into an enclosed area. Added some glass for the natural light to get through.

i just copied your cannon onto my map and shot it, it onli went 1800-1900 distance... the reason ur cannon shot 4600 from what i notice was that your field isn't leveled, it sinks downwards...hmm

@evicfinite

That's half the problem, to launch it at such a low angle, gravity is going to take effect and drop the projectile further the more it travels. Tried another setting and it shot at such an angle that I could never tell where the tnt went. If you want it to go further then replace the half-slab with a trapdoor. But its not going to reach these massive distances on a level field.

@Babyfang5

If you go to these coordinates you should be able to see it. (Press F3 to see it)

x: -60

y: 65

z: -160

@EC17MEISTER

i made a cannon,but i can't shoot it when it's full,because i have a lame pc.

but there's a vid on my channel.

you can go and see it.

cannon isn't full but that tnt block goes at hyper speed.

@thecooldude71 lets skype i wanna talk to you really quick about the cannon.

[thecooldude71]

@EC17MEISTER you online still?

@thecooldude71

That sounds pretty awesome, would like to see it in action.

[thecooldude71]

@thecooldude71 cubic chunks, wireless redstone, nuke tnt modded to have exact same blast radius but a timer of as long of you want so the tnt have time to drop down from such tall heights. This all on 1.7.3 so the tnt will fall onto the shot mounting block unlike 1.0.0. I am also using the trap door as my mounting block because the stone slab provides lower velocity shots, along with poorer range (tested by me).

i have a cannon that theoretically is powered by 465,000 tnt
