Siege Weapons

Siege weapons are emplacements designed to destroy enemy fortifications and control areas of the battlefield. They can damage boats.

Obtaining

All siege weapons, and their ammunition, can be crafted (see /recipes) To place a siege weapon, right click an area on the ground to place it. They require a certain area around the location to be clear of blocks and entities before they can be placed. To pick up a siege weapon which has been placed, break the block underneath it. To pick up a siege weapon after a server restart, right click the siege weapon, and it will be turned back into an item.

Blocks which name contains a word in this list or which name is a word in this list are 2 times more resistent to siege weapons like the Cannon and Trebuchet:

• "BRICKS"
• "STONE"
• "GRANITE"
• "ANDESITE"
• "DIORITE"
• "CONCRETE"
• "DEEPSLATE"
• "STONE_BRICKS"
• "TERRACOTTA"
• "SANDSTONE"
• "QUARTZ"

For example, "Polished Diorite" is more resistent than a block named "Dirt".

Siege weapons only break blocks during active battle sessions to prevent griefing while there are no fights happening, see War
