I'm going to repost this since it seems that I never got a formal staff response on this even though the general opinion of the community was good.

Pretty long title, but it sums it up. I want to be able to insert emerald blocks as ammunition for cannons. It should be a single high damage, it's speed should be medium/high, and it should have a medium/big explosion. No spread on it.
I think it would be a great use for emeralds that would be pretty interesting. Emeralds, as of now, can only be used for simple decoration and portal combos. This would be a good way to increase the value of emeralds in the market, and boost the economy.
Emeralds would now have a third use: Cannon ammunition. Emeralds would be eaten up rapidly by the cannons, so merchants would need to get more emeralds. As a result, miners will start to earn some money and trade with the merchants. This would improve trade throughout the server.
Finally, it should be easy to code in. Just fill in the framework and you have a projectile. No extra thought taken. It also shouldn't increase lag because of one extra projectile being added in, so the argument of "It will decrease TPS" will not work in this case. This can be used for other servers to eat up their emeralds and give them a use. Overall, everybody is happy.
Post your comments/suggestions below. I may wrong in one thing or another.[DOUBLEPOST=1368446039,1368445985][/DOUBLEPOST]Shoot, the bottom part of the poll is supposed to say "No, emerald blocks are too overpowered and laggy." >.<
