Anyone have an idea how people are making these TNT ballistas and cannons?

By launching TNT with other TNT?

Uh, yeah, I remember there was some way to build a cannon that wasn't self destructing, it involved using water to prevent the explosion from harming the blocks that you used.

Are double doors broken? If I use a pressure plate to open one, the other gets stuck in the open position.

Make sure you are shooting west if it isn't over a 4 tnt launch.

West is the direction that the sun sets in.

Rys, I am a cannon maker and making cannons is quite easy !

1 = block
2 = TNT (Gets flooded with Water when activated)
3 = (Place bucket of water at)
4 = AIM AREA (place TNT to shoot at)
5 = Red Dust on a block
6 = Pressaure Pad

Thats a simple cannon (put water bucket at the end facing the direction you want to fire).

Put TNT on all 2s and a TNT at the 4. Red Dust goes on the 5s (hooking to the tnt in the water). When activated wait a sec then smack the TNT on the 4. So when the TNT explodes in the water (No damage to cannon or floor due to water) the tnt on the 4 will fly and explode somewhere

Naw, if you position a door so that it connects to the block on the right, it swings opposite of one on the left. You can fix it pretty easily with some redstone inverters, though.

Has anyone tried to set up a Moai Statue TNT cannon and then put more TNT at the location it hits so it creates a second launch and increases the over all range?

Underwater library. Good idea, or best idea?

[Gauphastus]

That looks pretty enchanting.
Install a hidden chamber for ritual sacrifice.

The nice thing about building underwater now is that the water won't just keep filling up your construction if you break the barrier.

[Skyward]

I wanna build a library but I can't find any bamboo. 

[Clarke]

Its either papyrus or reed. :O

Reminds me of the Stoneship Age in Myst.

Can you put a link to the current server in the first post? It's starting to get buried.
