Turtlematic
by SirEdvin
Turtlematic is a ComputerCraft addon that gives turtles the ability to act like players, using items, blocks and mobs around them.
What it does
Turtlematic extends ComputerCraft turtles with peripherals that let a turtle simulate right and left clicks on items, blocks and mobs. Turtles can gather experience, search for mobs and items around themselves, harvest crops without breaking the blocks beneath, smelt items, and run smithing and stonecutting recipes in place. Enchantments can be extracted from enchanted items into books, and stored points in the world can be teleported to.
The addon is meant for automation in survival and multiplayer worlds, where a turtle can handle tasks that otherwise need a mod of their own. Installation requires CC: Tweaked on every loader, Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric, Forge Config API Port on Forge, and Kotlin for Forge on Forge. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 and the latest builds for 1.21.1 and 1.20.1. It runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Turtlematic is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Simulated clicks
Turtles can simulate right and left clicks on items, blocks and mobs, which covers many manual actions.
Crop harvesting
A turtle can harvest crops without breaking the block they grow on, leaving farmland and plants in place.
Smelting and smithing
Items can be smelted in place, and smithing and stonecutting recipes run through the turtle's interactions with blocks.
Enchantment extraction
Enchantments can be taken off enchanted items and stored in books, with the item keeping its base form.
Capture and void
A turtle can capture released blocks and mobs, and void unwanted items from its inventory.

How it compares
Turtle Charging Station is a Client and server option for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, published for 1.12.2 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, so it is open source and covers a wider version range. Re:Plethora is also open source under the MIT License, but it is Fabric only and targets 1.20 – 1.21.1, and it covers a different set of turtle upgrades. MiscPeripherals is Forge only and is not open source, with its license being CC0 1.0 Universal.
