Nations: Cannons Tutorial

Introduction
Cannons is an important plugin on Nations. These small multiblock structures allow you to aim and fire projectiles with ease, making them useful when breaching walls in War and during combat between ships.

Building Cannons

 * The Standard Cannon is the cheapest cannon type. To build it, place 3 black wool blocks side by side. This is the barrel of the cannon. On each end of the barrel, place a stone button. Finally, place a torch on the first block of the barrel. Right-click the torch to create the cannon.
 * The Iron Cannon is a more expensive but versatile cannon type. It is built the same way as the standard cannon, but with two iron blocks instead of three black wool blocks.
 * The Mortar Cannon is an extremely long range cannon. To build it, place two iron blocks side by side vertically. On the top of the iron block, place a heavy weighted pressure plate. On the bottom iron block, place a torch. Right-click the torch to create the cannon.

Firing Cannons

 * 1) Right-click the cannon with some gunpowder. The more gunpowder you load into the cannon, the further the projectile will go. Overloading the cannon may cause it to explode.
 * 2) Right-click the cannon with a projectile to load it. Each projectile has different effects when fired:
 * 3) * Cobblestone - explodes on impact, doing damage to blocks.
 * 4) * Canister Shot - fires multiple projectiles which collectively create many small explosions, doing massive damage to enemies. Does no block damage. See Extra Parts in the /sf guide for the recipe.
 * 5) * Napalm - ignites the area upon impact. See Extra Parts in the /sf guide for the recipe. Can only be fired by iron and mortar cannons.
 * 6) * Armor Piercing Shell - does less block damage compared to cobblestone, but can deal damage to multiple layers of wall blocks such as stone bricks, making it very useful against town defenses. Can only be fired by iron and mortar cannons.2019-06-09 21.45.54.png
 * 7) Right-click the cannon while holding iron bars to push the projectile into the cannon.
 * 8) Right-click the torch on the cannon (or the stone button on the iron cannon) to fire!

Aiming Cannons
Cannons can be aimed by right-clicking them with a clock while sneaking and then looking at the direction/angle you want the cannon to fire at. The firing arc will be represented by glass.

Protecting yourself from Cannons
Certain blocks can take multiple hits from cannons before breaking. See the list here.
