Turret TaCZ Addon
by Markus-Otto
Turret TaCZ Addon adds automated turrets that load real TaCZ ammunition, track hostiles and leave the team's pets alone, built for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Six turrets are included, among them the Viper 5.56 for light dual-barrel suppression, the M20 Bastion with its 20mm explosive autocannon, the M134 Guardian rotary turret that spins up its barrels and runs under a heat cap set in its options, and the M81 Thunder, a mortar that accepts automatic and manual fire missions. Turrets are crafted at the TaCZ gun smith table in the Misc category, and the set covers direct-fire emplacements alongside the mortar.
The mod works with Timeless Classics Zero and Turret TaCZ Minecraft Forge addons. It is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and both the server and every player need it, since turrets are placed and fired on the server. Some textures are still placeholders, and the author notes that dedicated sounds and final textures are planned for later builds.
Key features

The mortar turret suits players who want indirect fire on distant targets, guided by coordinates entered in the GUI.
Who it’s for: Players who already run TaCZ on Forge 1.20.1 and want turrets that use the same ammunition, as well as server owners who need automated defenses with per-turret access rules.
