This advanced Minecraft build is a long-range pearl cannon designed for significant distances, capable of launching pearls up to 632 kilometers. It features live BED encoding, a differential 2gt circle basket for wider range and better TNT efficiency, and flat TNT dupers with dust BUDs to simplify construction. Chunk loaders ensure the cannon remains active during TNT duper activation, preventing any unloading issues.
The design supports multi-shot capabilities, launching several pearls simultaneously. Pearls are fired above world height to minimize chunk loading. It offers up to 36 programmable destinations via an expandable 4×9 panel and includes double pearl detection to prevent accidental firing due to improper alignment.
Key specifications include a base range of 632km, with variants reaching 316km and 158km. The time from pearl throw to explosion is 185gt. The cannon uses a substantial amount of TNT for acceleration and propellant, with specific counts varying by variant. It is designed to launch pearls to a height of over 256 blocks, with variable Y-motion to maintain altitude. The build is directional and requires chunk-aligned chunk loaders for optimal performance. Instructions and a calculator for generating cannon encoding are available via a provided link.

What to bring first
Survival or creative?
This build is not survival-obtainable as-is. It contains Bedrock, Nether Portal, which cannot be collected in survival – paste it in creative, or substitute those blocks.
How to Place It:
Moving parts
It includes Activator Rail, Comparator, Crafter, Dispenser, Dropper, Honey Block, Hopper, Lever, so check the mechanism still works after pasting – redstone state and item-container contents do not always survive a paste.
