How To Get Guns In Minecraft

Download Article

Most combat in Minecraft is done up close and personal. TNT cannons can pack a big punch, but are resource intensive and blow up all your stuff. What's the best way to kill that army rushing through your defenses? A Minecraft machine gun.

Steps

1

Gather your resources. You will need 6 blocks, 1 dispenser, 3 redstone, 4 redstone torches, a lever, and arrows.
2

Place your dispenser, a redstone dust behind it, and 2 blocks behind that.

3

Place a block above-left and above-right of your rear blocks.
4

Place redstone torches on the sides of your bottom rear blocks (4 total).
5

Put redstone dust in the channel on top of your rear bottom blocks. It should start flashing.
6
Place a lever on the back of the rearmost bottom block, and turn it on.
- This turns the machine "on", but stops the dispenser from firing.
7

Fill your machine gun with ammo (either arrows or fire charges).
8

Prepare for war.

This machine gun doesn't fire far when made on the ground. It has a better distance and spread when elevated.
Projectile can explode in a ground or villages that using without aspect of fire that subject to change because TNT is a projectile and shoot to your cannon gun to explode or explode in villages that use creatures like jockey.

Thanks for submitting a tip for review!

These occupy space and putting them in un-strategic spots makes it a space occupier
Using projectiles that explode aren't exactly flavour of your cannon's and your month since villages or structures you like which are nearby have a chance of being hit or being destroyed by explosions
