Allows you to craft defensive turrets that will shoot any hostile mobs it detects and defend villages that are within proximity.
NOTE: Currently at its beta phase and will be updated sporadically due to work, college, and other commissions.

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 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 (or 1 heart). 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.

Thank you so much!
Also, thanks a lot for understanding the issues! It's actually my first one so it is a bit wonky. I'm still trying to fix them up and work on some new turrets but work and school is swamping me.
