# TurretPlugin **TurretPlugin** is a plugin for [PaperMC](https://papermc.io/) 1.20.x / 1.21.x that adds **automatic turrets** to your Minecraft server — with no mods required! Turrets protect your area by automatically targeting and shooting hostile mobs that are in direct line of sight. They’re crafted and placed like regular Minecraft items, and can be removed individually by players. --- ## 🚀 Features - **Craftable "Turret Core"** item (see recipe below) - **Place turrets** by right-clicking a block with the "Turret Core" - Turrets **automatically aim and shoot** only at hostile mobs, if they are in direct line of sight (won’t shoot through walls) - Turrets are immovable and immune to explosions or fire - **Break a turret by hitting it** (only the targeted turret is removed) - `/giveturretcore` command for giving yourself the core (admin/OP only) - No client mods required — works out-of-the-box! --- ## 📦 Turret Core Crafting Recipe
