WHAT'S NEW?

A new update has been released! A new turret, items and even block was implemented and will surely help defend your area!

I present to you the Ballista! A medieval siege weapon that shoots large bolts of arrow towards enemy. The Ballista shoots much faster than the Cannon Turret, but has less health and deals less damage. The cheap crafting recipe of this turret allows you to create an early defense system for your world, in a sense, the durability of this turret is also lower than that of iron-clad Cannon Turret.


With the Ballista in beta, I will now proceed to the next turret by next week! Be on the lookout for updates in my Facebook Page! For issues like bugs and such, please submit one through GitHub or join our Discord since there's no other proper way of getting inputs and automating the TODO list.


Ballista

The Ballista's projectile should originally be the Ballista Arrow, but due to a bug or some unknown yet circumstances, the Arrow will take place for now.

Ballista Arrow

Arrow

To craft the Ballista, you will need these following items:

  • Ballista Base

    This item serves as the base of the entire turret. Cheap and easy to build because of how you can mix wood variants when crafting.

    NOTE: The wooden slabs can be swapped with any Overworld wood slab variant.

  • Ballista Base with Stand

    The next step on crafting the Ballista is to create the stand at the base so that the bow would be elevated. Just gotta put that fence over the stand and voila!


  • Ballista Bow

    The Ballista Bow will serve as the head of the turret. This one is able to rotate a full 360 degrees and has a +/-25 head elevation.

    NOTE: The wooden slabs can be swapped with any Overworld wood slab variant.

  • Ballista Arrow Head

    The material used for the arrow head is flint, which can be sharpened enough to act as a trap. Once placed down, it will deal damage to all entities that will step on it.


  • Ballista Arrow

    This should originally by the Ballista's projectile, but due to the version's constraints and a probable API bug, and/or unknown error, this can only be classified as a normal item right now.


  • Ballista

    By combining all the final process of all the items, you just combine them in a pattern similar to the provided image. This will provide you with the Ballista! One Ballista can deal 1-4HP (x1 to x2)


Ballista Arrow Head

The Ballista Arrow Head is typically an item made for creating the Ballista Arrow. That may be its original purpose, the sharp tips of these objects can still hurt entities. These items can be placed on top of blocks and when an entity stepped over it, they will be dealt with 2HP (x1). They won't break when stepped over so it is a reusable trap. I plan to make this block gravity-affected but since the API is still under beta phase, that's not going to happen anytime soon. I also plan to increase its damage by adding more heads on the block in the future.
