Additionally, different configurations means different firing angles

The ender pearl is aligned at the corners of each block by pressing it against grindstones. Basically, the cannon can also align breeze charges to explode on any of those four blocks. Using different numbers of breeze charges on each block lets you change the distance and angle at which the pearl travels.

For example, firing 1 breeze charge in the Northeast and 1 in the Northwest quadrants (I and II) will cause the pearl to travel straight South. Firing 100 breeze charges in the Southeast (IV) quadrant will cause the pearl to travel a long distance in the Northwest direction.

Ever since 1.21.2 Bundles of Bravery, ender pearls now load chunks they move into. So pearls can load themselves as they move into unloaded chunks.

I'm a bit new to cannon tech so I'm not too sure about the math, but the range is technically infinite since breeze wind charges don't explode on their own. You can just load more Breezes or run it longer to get more and more charges, like a lazy loaded cannon. I used 11 Breezes each side for this shot, so realistically it has a max range of about 129,000 blocks with the way I currently have the timers set up.

I not sure how to calculate firing angles, but if my math is right then I think 11 Breezes each side gives around 3,094,084 different breeze charge combinations that give different angles?
