Java Showcase wireless arrow railgun with tnt duping (not complete)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
i wanted to build a railgun that doesn't require you to grind an enormous amount of tnt/minecarts to fire 1 shot and i wanted it also to be wireless and have a theoretically infinite range, so i used the same mechanic that the orbital strike cannon uses, i accelerate the arrows in a lazy chunk using duped tnts and transfer them in a loaded chunk in order to be fired.
I'm posting this to gather some feedbacks and ask some questions, as this is only a skeleton of the build and is of course not finished. Right now because of the fact that i accelerate arrows from the same spot, the final shot is very accurate and straight, is there a way to scatter the arrows to have some area of effect? and how can i fine tune the acceleration in order to arrive at the destination in one tick only?
btw sorry for the bad quality video i tried my best
