When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
You dig? You know I like it like that
God sets the volley I just spike it like that
Dig, you know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
You dig? You know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
He said to count it all joy, go figure
For wealth I don't gotta to rush like a gold digger
I set my heart on the kingdom and He just increases my figures
Dig, He wore thorns for a wig
Christ took my cursed mind so that I can have His
And He loves in spite of what I did
And I'm starting to understand as a father of four kids
Dig, He said that we'd do greater works
But were nothing without Him because He did all the work
We've been ordained to walk in them good works
But He supplies the grace we just abound to good works
Dig, Jesus spoke to the fig tree, made the same faith available to me
So every mountain that stands in my way
I just speak to that thing and it hast to obey
Yeah, You know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
You dig? You know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
Dig, you know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
You dig? You know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
Dig, free from the curse of the law
I'm saved by faith not by the works of the law
I've been justified now that's a work of God's law
Now I'm right before my God as if I never had a flaw
Dig, and my way out wasn't free
Yeah, I was dead broke but Jesus paid the fee
Had a yoke around my neck and shackles on my feet
Until He destroyed the yoke and broke them chains off of me
Dig, I was a wild olive twig
And I couldn't bear any fruit until I got grafted in
Yeah, Now I abide in the vine
Gave me a book full of His thoughts to help me renew my mind
Dig, and I don't have all of the answers but I know the one who does
Yeah, Jesus is the answer
When I ask in faith I have access to the answer
I guess what I'm tryna tell you is that faith is the answer
Dig, You know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
You dig? You know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
Dig, you know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that
You dig? You know I like it like that
When God sets the volley I just spike it like that

+Exswordion Thank you for replying! I appreiciate it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find 'TracerRateTicks' in my config.yml file. All that is in my file is this:
Locale: en
CompatibilityMode: true
SinkRateTicks: 20
SinkCheckTicks: 100
PilotTool: 280
WorldGuardBlockMoveOnBuildPerm: true
WorldGuardBlockSinkOnPVPPerm: true
ManOverBoardTimeout: 30
RequireCreatePerm: false
DisableCrates: false
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should I add in 'TracerRateTicks: 0'? Thanks.

Hi. This tutorial was extremely helpful for one of my ships!! But I'm making a bigger ship now and needed bigger cannons. I tried making a scatter shot cannon that fires 5 projectiles and 8 propellent. The only problem is that the webs that come out when you fire TNT are getting in the way causing the cannon to blow up. Is there a way you can disable webs from spawning in movecraft? Thanks!
DiScipioni DiScipioni
The webs are client side... They do not affect the TNT.
Exswordion
@Kevin Charoensri You may have an outdated config.yml file, to update it make sure you have the latest Movecraft.jar file in your 'plugins' folder and delete the old config.yml file. Movecraft will generate a new config.yml file when you restart the server. :)

+Kevin Charoensri Yes, its actually quite easy. In the config.yml file set the 'TracerRateTicks' to 0. I am also planning on releasing some tutorials on scattershot cannons in the next few weeks :)
Damn Lemons
what version did you build the cannon?
im currently working on my destroyer and need some cannons
Duke James
I have used this design in the 1.9 update with the build server and found that the ticks need to be readjusted. I have experimented and I can not seem to get it working like how you are using it for arc (such as firing at your chest). Can you explain how to fix this issue and or remake the video with a new controller so that this will not happen? Thanks!
Judge-412
Great vid! However when I built it my world was so laggy they it blew up! I must of mess d up but I don't no why cause of the lag! Don't build on laggy worlds!
Exswordion
+Raptor 412 Yes, I had the same problem myself for a while when my private server was laggy. The cannons are very powerful, but can go wrong if the tickspeed messes up or something.
Im A Muffin
For some reason when I put it to 1 tick one tnt will fall into the fence and blow up the cannon can anyone help?
