Create Guardian Beam Defense

This mini-mod is an addon for Create that introduces stationary laser defense systems into the game. These installations are designed in the style of Guardians and ocean monuments and can automatically lock onto specific mobs, dealing periodic damage to them.

Main Types of Laser Turrets

Basic Guardian Beam Turret - the initial version of the defense system that can track one hostile mob within a 17-block radius. Its crafting requires a new item dropped by Guardians when killed by a player.

Advanced Guardian Beam Turret - an enhanced modification capable of simultaneously attacking up to 10 targets within 17 blocks. Crafted from a unique drop from Elder Guardians obtained by players.

Additional Equipment

Beam Reactor Helmet - this headgear combines the functions of armor superior to netherite in characteristics and a powerful weapon. It emits a continuous beam that damages multiple enemies in the line of fire but consumes its durability in the process (activated by the 'R' key by default).

Functional Features

The beam charging speed of turrets directly depends on the rotation speed of the power source: slow rotations increase preparation time for firing, while fast rotations accelerate the attack.

For successful target engagement, turrets require unobstructed direct line of sight.

Breaking turrets with a pickaxe takes considerable time - for their movement and installation, using a wrench is recommended.

Starting from version 1.2.0b, turrets received an ownership system: players can configure attack targets, including other players. Others cannot pick up or change settings of turrets belonging to someone else (except those created before update 1.2.0b).

The mod is in beta testing stage, so additions of new features and improvements are possible in the future.
