Tnt Minecart Launcher Plugin lets you launch TNT minecarts off rail ramps to turn standard tracks into simple TNT cannons.
How It Works Build a straight track using powered rails and turn them on.
At the end, place a single rail sloped upwards pointing toward your target. Keep the space directly above this ramp clear.
Push a TNT minecart down the line. When it hits the ramp, it launches into the air.
Key Features & Mechanics Distance Stacking: Each active powered rail multiplies 16 blocks which means if u have 20 powered rails and it goes over each one it will multiply, 20 x 16 which gives us 320 which means the tnt minecart will go down and explode at around 320 blocks infront of u. (Example: 20 rails = 320 blocks)
Calculation: If U wanna calculate ur own distance for the launching, count the powered rails and then multiply that number by 16, Dont Forget, Hitting an unpowered rail or turning a corner resets the rail count back to 0.
Distance Cap: Maximum flight distance is capped at 1024 blocks by default, Notice: I Might Change This In The Future To Be higher.
Brakes: Hitting an unpowered rail or turning a corner resets the rail count back to 0.
Flight Effects: The minecart flies in a smooth arc with flame and smoke trails.
Impact Detonation: Explodes on contact with any block or terrain.
Chunk Loading: Since its going really fast it keeps all the chunks loaded so even if there is no one there it will still land and explode.
Default Config (for now) YAML max-distance: 1024 blocks-per-rail: 16
I will continue to update this plugin with new features and fixes over time and hopefully every minecraft update i will update this plugin to support that version, this plugin now is only for spigot,bukkit,paper, and purpur but in around 2 weeks from now it will have compatibility with folia, sponge and more.
If u have any questions, reviews or anything in general feel free to comment.
