This mod adds 6 turrets and combat drones to eliminate your enemies and protect areas from them. All turrets and drones have targeting configurable per mob type; default targets include all potentially aggressive mobs.

To get started, you will need to obtain raw titanium from titanium ore, then smelt it in the blast furnace to get titanium ingots.

Custom ammo (1.20.1+)

You can define custom ammo for units using a datapack. The layout of the datapack must be following:

-data

  --k_turrets

      ---tags

           ----items

             arrow_unit_ammo.json

             brick_unit_ammo.json

             bullet_unit_ammo.json

             cobble_unit_ammo.json

             fireball_unit_ammo.json

             gauss_unit_ammo.json

These Json files are item tags.

Configuration

Health, range, armor, fire rate and damage can be changed for each turret type.

Drone health is 83% of the turret health, and armor is 34% of turret armor.

You can set turret and drone limit per player and per dimension on the server in the config, which is located in "world/serverconfig" directory.

You can define mobs that will be excluded from default targets.

You can set at what distance drones will stay from the owner when attacking mobs.

Old turret models can be enabled.

In-game configuration

A turret/drone can be toggled to be mobile/immobile - basically determines whether you can push it around.

To access its inventory, right click on it.

To access its configuration screen, Shift + right click on it.

If you use this mod on a server and you want your turrets/drones to shoot at other players that aren't your teammates, you can set it in the UI.

You can exclude players from turret/drone targets by typing player name prefixed by an exclamation sign like '!Krosenut".

Other features

To repair a unit, Shift + right click it with an item that is in "k_turrets:unit_repair" tag. It has titanium ingot by default.

Turret can have following upgrades:

• Experience link - mobs killed by the unit will drop experience
• Fire shield - gives immunity to fire damage
• Looting link - mobs killed by the unit will drop items that require the mob to be killed by a player

Drone can have all turret upgrades, and the following:

• Lantern - will be accompanied by a light block
• Recall upgrade - will teleport to the owner if farther than 128 blocks

Storage drone can have lantern, recall upgrade and item magnet (attracts items to the drone and places them inside).

Claimed turrets/drones also don't damage their owner and other turrets/drones with the same owner.

You can use hoppers to insert ammo into turrets/drones. Or you can enable ammo refill from adjacent inventory.

You can hold key 'K' to highlight locations of your drones around 128 block radius:

To copy target filters and exceptions from one turret/drone to others, use Target Copier.

To automate drone ammo reloading, use Ammo Reloader. It reloads drones around 6 block range.
