Tnt Cannon
by Non
Tnt Cannon gives players a handheld cannon that fires charged TNT, fire charges and other loaded projectiles toward the point they aim at.
What it does
The cannon is a weapon that takes different ammo types. Cannon balls and charged TNT are loaded and launched along the line of sight, and a direct hit on a living entity creates a small explosion that damages nearby entities and can destroy blocks in the surrounding area. Fire charges are a separate projectile for setting targets alight. The cannon can also be used for rocket jumping, since the blast pushes the player through the air. A few enchantments are available for the cannon, and every enchantment except Fast Fuse is based on the author's own design.
The mod is an original work inspired by Fox's Handheld Cannon, the earlier concept behind it. The 3D models were made by the author in Blockbench. Tnt Cannon has to be installed on both the server and the client, and it depends on Fabric API. The release is published for Fabric only, for 1.19.2. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so anyone may use the mod in modpacks, and credit is appreciated.

Use cases
Rocket jumping
The blast from a shot can push the player upward, which is useful for crossing gaps and reaching high ledges.
Demolition and combat
A direct hit blows up blocks and entities, so the cannon suits clearing structures or fighting mobs at range.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.19.2 who want an explosive weapon and a rocket jump option. Server owners who run the mod need it installed on both the server and every player's client.
