I'm trying to create an arrow scattershot device using TNT explosions and redstone (based on a simpler version of this). It works locally; however, when I try to replicate it on a free tier Paper Minehut server (v1.16.5) the arrows do not get propelled by the TNT at all.
Does this explosion propulsion mechanic work on Paper servers at all? If it does work how can I fix my setup to get this to work?
The machine works by:
Arrows are shot onto the half slab
Button is pressed
TNT ignites and bubbles up to the block under the iron trapdoor
Piston retracts just before the TNT ignites, putting the arrows in freefall
TNT explodes and the force propels the arrows out (this propulsion part is not working)
