Open Beta

Open Beta

This marks the end of the Alpha Phase of the mod and now under Beta and can be tested. All bugs and issues can be reported and will be looked upon. I'm so glad and proud to introduce my first mod in Minecraft Java after porting this entire concept from my Bedrock Add-On

[TURRETS]

This introduces new turrets to the game:

Cannon Turret

The very first turret implemented in the mod. It shoots cannonballs that explodes upon impact.

Ballista

One of the cheapest turrets to build in the mod. It shoots arrows that deals low damages to enemy but penetrates them.

MG Turret

The MG Turret is the first modern turret in the mod. It shoots a barrage of bullets that deals relatively high damage.

[ITEMS]

Various new items are also added such as:

Cannon Base

Cannon Head

Cannon Stand

Unfinished Cannon Head

Ballista Arrow

Ballista Base

Ballista Base with Stand

Ballista Bow

Ammo Case

Ammo Rounds

MG Base

MG Head

MG Stand

[TOOLS]

Of course there are also specialized tools that are added to help you manage these turrets. As of this release, there is only one and that is:

Turret Remover

Let’s you remove an already placed turret. Not really useful for whacking hostile mobs now, is it?

[BLOCKS]

In addition to the previously mentioned features, a new block that can be used as a trap is also now added:

Arrowhead

The first ever block and trap the add-on has to offer! Small damage but cheap to produce!

Initial Alpha Release

All Bedrock Turrets are now fully implemented except for their respective loot tables.

CHANGELOG

• Added Cannon Turret, which shoots explosive cannonballs at hostile entities
• Added Ballista that shoots penetrating arrows, damaging nearly all enemies it passes through
• Added Machine Gun Turret that shoots 10 bursts of bullets in a short span of time
• Added Arrowhead that deals continuous damage while stepping on it
• Added Turret Remover which removes a turret placed accidentally
