Hand cannons, loaded and unloaded, can occasionally be found inside chests in labyrinths.

Usage

The hand cannon can be loaded and then fired by pressing right click. In order to do this, the player must have at least a single explosive charge in their inventory. When fired, the loaded charge will instantly fire from the player in an arc. The range is about 7-8 blocks if the player is looking completely straight.

Weapon

The explosive charge shot by the hand cannon deals damage to entities. Its damage is dependent on the entity's distance to the center of the explosion, dealing 10 () damage on direct hits. The explosion radius is 5 blocks.^[verify]

Blast jumping

The hand cannon's blast, just like any explosion, will push away entities, including the player. This, along with the blast protective benefits of steel armor, allows the player to safely propel themselves around 4.5 blocks into the air when blasting off the ground, and even higher when used against the side of a surface.
