Minecraft I&D: Functional Fire-Charge "Cannon"

This is a tutorial on how to make a decorative "cannon" that uses fire charges as ammo.

Warning: This is not a TNT-cannon. Using TNT for this cannon will result in it blowing up. :P

You Will Need:

1 Dispenser
1 Dropper
1 Redstone torch
1 Button
Fire charges

How to build:

1. Place a dropper facing the direction you want your cannon to go. Then, place a dispenser in front of that dropper.

2. Place a button and redstone torch on the back of the cannon. The redstone torch is used as a decorative "fuse."

3. Load either the front or back with fire charges; both will work.

4. Fire the cannon! & enjoy!

Minecraft Concept: Caravan

 Donkeys & mules in Minecraft can carry a payload. Therefore, if you're a merchant with goods to sell, you might want to travel by caravan. Holding the leash to a donkey, ride one yourself. Have one of your crew members riding the donkey you're pulling, while they pull another one. This continues so on and so forth.

Only the person in front actually has to move, so it's nice to kick back and relax if you're a passenger. Now you've got a little train across the desert!
