CC: Rideable Turtles
by CptIdea
With CC: Rideable Turtles, a ComputerCraft turtle can carry a passenger, and players can sit on a turtle they have saddled.
What it does
A saddle lets a player ride a turtle directly, and the rider moves with the turtle's own animation, so the ride stays smooth on the client and the server. Sneaking and right-clicking with an empty hand dismounts. Programs can do the same through a turtle seat peripheral, which adds the mount, mountUp, mountDown, dismount and dismountUp methods to a turtle equipped with the upgrade.
The seat peripheral lets a Lua program pick up a mob, animal, villager or even a player from the front, above or below the turtle, then drop it where it is needed. Players and programs can build automated barns, sorting pens, arena loaders or mob taxis from this. The mod also adds a ready-made Rideable Turtles tab to the ComputerCraft creative menu, so the seat and saddle items can be found without searching.
The mod requires CC: Tweaked, and it is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project also has public links to its source code and a wiki.
Key features
Riding a saddled turtle
A saddled turtle can carry a player, who sits down and gets off by sneaking, the way a boat works.
Turtle seat upgrade
The seat upgrade lets a turtle carry a mob or player that a program has picked up.
Seat peripheral methods
The peripheral adds mount, mountUp, mountDown, dismount and dismountUp, so programs can grab and release passengers at chosen positions.
Smooth passenger movement
The rider is attached to the turtle's real animation, which avoids rubber-banding and stutter while moving.

What the author says
Hop on a turtle and ride along — or let your programs pick up and haul mobs around. CC: Rideable Turtles adds one thing to CC: Tweaked: a seat turtle upgrade. Saddle up a turtle and it becomes something you can actually ride, and something your Lua code can use to move creatures from A to B.
