Archived Adding Emerald Block Ammunition For Cannons

[Imboring56]

Pretty long title, but it sums it up. I want to be able to insert emerald blocks as ammunition for cannons. It should be a single high damage, it's speed should be medium/high, and it should have a medium/big explosion. No spread on it.

I think it would be a great use for emeralds that would be pretty interesting. Emeralds, as of now, can only be used for simple decoration and portal combos. This would be a good way to increase the value of emeralds in the market, and boost the economy.

Emeralds would now have a third use: Cannon ammunition. Emeralds would be eaten up rapidly by the cannons, so merchants would need to get more emeralds. As a result, miners will start to earn some money and trade with the merchants. This would improve trade throughout the server.

Finally, it should be easy to code in. Just fill in the framework and you have a projectile. No extra thought taken. It also shouldn't increase lag because of one extra projectile being added in, so the argument of "It will decrease TPS" will not work in this case. This can be used for other servers to eat up their emeralds and give them a use. Overall, everybody is happy.

Post your comments/suggestions below. I may wrong in one thing or another.

Do you know what would be cool, big community bonfires at spawn in which we throw Emeralds into!

I feel like to make more people want them you should add a green fire work effect Otherwise I'd just use more obtainable ammunition.

Nice idea, this has my approval.

Nah. No effects. However, emeralds are worthless unlike diamonds. So emeralds will be sacrificed to the cannons pretty quickly.

You sure you have no emeralds? You say its unobtainable, yet I find a ton on every single one of my Ellador mining expeditions. And if that's not enough, you can probably buy emeralds at 0.2 silver.

And look on the bright side: If this is implemented and people use this, you can stock your shop up with emeralds and actually be able to sell them because others will want them. So you'd be making money.

How about it has the effect of temporarily disabling peoples ability to use magic, whenever magic is introduced.

Magic isn't going to be implemented for a long time. By that time, I think cannons will have evolved and the server will have changed so dramatically that we should be able to put better effects on the ammunition.

Gold.... useless..? Sell all your useless gold to me!!!!!

 

[Tigershield]

I was joking. There arent many dwarfs left. The gold useless comment is a old dwarven joke. But not many outlanders understand the dwarfs sense of humor.

 

[ApatheticLlama]

As a guy who has the bloody reverse Midas Touch with mining anything at all, this kinda makes me a sad panda.

I guess I'll just go mine for a few hours and return with half a stack of iron.

 

[Imboring56]

Come on admins, you really doing this?

But seriously, it's been about a month.
