Defense Turrets
by Arcsea
Defense Turrets adds automated turrets for protecting a base, with machine gun, laser and grenade variants.
What it does
Turrets can be configured with player and mob whitelists, so friendly units are left alone while hostile targets are engaged. The mod also includes a UV Floodlight that cleanses Spore creatures and fungal blocks within a 3×3 chunk area of 48×48 blocks, restoring affected blocks where possible. Turret models are based on the Open Modular Turrets mod. It is compatible with Fungal Infection. Defense Turrets runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
