[Suggestion] - Shaped Charges

So like a dynamite stick, but you don't have to place it on the dead center for complete effectiveness?

I like it. Would love if you could "Pre-Tag" these charges (And the dynamite too) so you only have to place it and use the dyna-mote to explode it.

That is rare, a suggestion i actually like from the get go O.o.

P.S: The SMP idea, the whole joke of the reinforced stone its for it being blast resistant, so i doubt the charge should be a little more effective than a dynamite stick.

imagine the tnt cannons +1

As far as the recipe goes I think it should incorporate one or more copper ingots. Shaped charges use copper cones encased in explosive.

but that's to punch through armor with a molten slug

Would account for why it's able to punch through reinforced stone as suggested above.
I mean, the composit vest (Similar to tank armor) uses the same tech as reinforced stone.

There was a separate mod from Minecraft beta that had similar functions as this, but I don't think it ever got updated to any recent version of Minecraft.

+1 for suggesting this, as I do believe it would help simplify the point-blast process of explosive mining.. lol

Fallen: That's a good point. However, it should also be noted in the wiki article that different materials are used for different purposes. An example given is that an aluminum liner (the cone you spoke of) is used when the target surface is concrete.

Yes I know but i went with saying copper for two reasons.
1.Its the first metal i think of when i hear shape charges.
2. I was on my IPod and didnt want to type a long message.

Nice idea. But it should go through reinforced stone but the explosion power should be bigger ofc since its focused in 1 direction.

+1 too for the idea. I agree too with you (exept on reinforced stone, because it would be too expensive just for TNT).

Posted via iPod? I think you mean iPad. And by the way, get something without a bitten Apple on it.

How exactly would the Explosion itself work? I mean, will it just cause the Block where its sitting upon to explode, or does it cause a new directed Explosion?

Imagine the block like a rifle...
As warlord's recipie:

where are... a metal and are iTNT.
That's like a cannon without a cannonball in... the metal part direct the explosive force in only one direction (supposedly concentrated so more powerful) suppressing totally to go in other direction... so... i dunno if this is possible... but what about make the block explode in a direction with a defined power, and the all other direction have an explosion power of 0? So if u sit on it when it explode, unless u point it at u, u will recive no damage at all... simply fall for 1 block and touch the ground...

OR we can eventually build a reusable cannon to make TNT and iTNT directional.
Like: cannon + iTNT/TNT = charged cannon.
Place, fire, pick up empty cannon.

I rather have the 3x3 (Or more) explosion. Since i want to use it for better mining and clearing space for underground bases...

@warlord, then you could have the passageway blown and one layer of the roof. and above that roof sand/gravel/lava whatever evil you want

+1 This is just the kind of new industrial thing we need!

So I can blow up my neighbor without removing my lawn? AWESOME!
