[SBW] Mini Auto Turret
by Reygestywar
[SBW] Mini Auto Turret adds a compact, tripod-mounted auto-sentry turret to SuperbWarfare, starting with a cheap M60-based model.
What it does
The mod adds small sentry turrets that are mounted on a tripod and can be placed in the world, where they acquire and engage targets automatically using SuperbWarfare's AI. The base SuperbWarfare mod only offers large-scale turrets such as the HPJ-11 laser tower, so this addition fills the gap for a smaller form factor. The opening turret is an M60 sentry priced for early-game defense, and the author plans heavier turret types for later progression.
Turrets are deployed from a container and picked up again the way other SuperbWarfare equipment is handled, and their crafting recipes use SuperbWarfare parts. The mod requires SuperbWarfare, Curios API and GeckoLib on both Forge and NeoForge. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with Forge 47.4.10 or later and NeoForge builds for 1.21.1, and SuperbWarfare 0.8.9 or later is needed.
The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with public source code. It was first published on 2026-07-18 and last updated on 2026-09-28, when the latest Forge file for 1.20.1 and NeoForge file for 1.21.1 both arrived at version 1.0.3. Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server running it must install it too.

The first turret is an M60-based sentry, cheap enough for early-game defense. More turret types are planned for later, heavier…
