Turret TaCZ Addon

Turret TaCZ is a Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 addon for Timeless and Classics Zero (TaCZ) that adds deployable automated turrets. They load real TaCZ ammunition, track and engage hostiles on their own, and leave you, your team and your pets alone.

Turrets are crafted in the TaCZ gun smith table (Misc category).
