Whahahah, YES, I am adding fricken' turrets to my Minecraft modification. There is a lot I will be learning to do these, nearly all to be used on true future tamables to Modification.

The things I hope to learn polishing the Prototurret are:
~Entity/Block interaction
~Entity inventory
~Action based animation

The action based animation is probably the most significant thing on this list. All my animations so far are just idle. Action based will involve animation in response to doing certain things. For this thing here, it will be displaying recoil of the barrel when it shoots mob. With action based animation I can make mobs like Snow Sorceress Braixen raise its wand up as it casts a spell or mobs swinging their arms at the player as it attacks.

The Prototurret actually doesn't "fire" projectiles. It "teleports" the shot to the target as it leaves the barrel. I like the idea because it gets around friendly fire, something I have tried to avoid even on my hostile mobs. The other reason was for a future turret I have planned called the Siege Cannon (yes, THAT infamous thing is being referenced).

As you can see, the green colors reflect the Vespene materials produced by the Vespene Condenser. Those materials will be addressed in the crafting recipe and, hopefully, the custom inventory.

The turret is named the Prototurret because it represents the first, or early, turret.
