Siege weapons are placed to destroy enemy fortifications, defend strategic points, and kill enemy players.

Obtaining Siege Weapon

To craft a siege weapon and its ammunition, you must unlock the “Warsmithing” and “Fletching” profession skills in blacksmithing.

Cannons

Cannons are ranged artillery pieces that are mainly used to destroy enemy fortifications or target infantry.

Placing & Destroying

To place a cannon, right-click on a 1×3 surface. To destroy a cannon, break the block underneath.

Aiming

• To point the cannon leftwards, do Shift + RClick
• To point a cannon rightwards, do Shift + LClick

• To point a cannon upwards, do LClick
• To point a cannon downwards, do RClick

Loading

To load the cannon, right-click on the cannon with gunpowder pouches 3 times. Then, load your desired projectile (cannonball/cannister shot) by right-clicking at the front of the cannon.

• Cannonball: Can penetrate up to 4 blocks deep, mainly used for enemy fortifications.
• Cannister Shot: Special anti-infantry projectile that spreads like a shotgun but does not destroy any blocks.

Firing

Once you've loaded the cannon with gunpowder pouches and your desired projectile, you can fire it by lighting up the cannon with a flint and steel. You can reload and fire again once the smoke has cleared.
