TurretCraft炮台
by jianuoczmc
TurretCraft adds several turret types to Forge 1.20.1 that aim and fire at targets within a spherical range.
What it does
Each turret type has its own ammunition and firing behavior: Arrow, Gatling, Poison, Fire, Lightning, Frost and Cannon are the names listed for the turrets. The turret rotates its yaw and raises or lowers its barrel pitch to aim, and a recoil animation plays on each shot. Targeting uses a sphere around the turret, so the vertical distance counts toward whether a target is in range. Explosions from cannon-style shots damage entities only and leave blocks untouched.
The ammunition screen lets a player load and unload ammo, view the remaining count, and switch between targeting modes. Turret textures include a small cz nameplate. The mod is published as a single Forge build for 1.20.1, and it is licensed under a custom license that is not open source. Forge 47.x is the loader version named in the author notes for installation.
Only the client needs TurretCraft, so players install it and servers do not. The mod can run in single-player or on a client alone. Its public source code and issue tracker are linked from the project page.
Key features
Multiple turret types
Seven turret types are offered, each with its own ammunition and firing style.
Spherical targeting range
Targets are detected inside a sphere around the turret, so height above or below it is included in the range check.
Aim and recoil animation
Turrets rotate in yaw, raise or lower the barrel in pitch, and kick back on recoil when they fire.
Ammunition interface
A GUI shows loaded ammunition and its count, and offers targeting mode toggles and an unload option.
