Pirate Cannons!
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This mod introduces a classic piece of weaponry, cannons. The cannons can be fired manually with a torch and cannonballs or fired via redstone allowing you to create large volleys of destruction. The cannons and cannonballs are fairly inexpensive so it won't drain your resources too much. The cannons do not affect any other aspects of gameplay other than being what is essentially a portable TNT cannon.
