Automatic Targeting System for Cannons

This mod adds a fully-featured automatic targeting system for mounted cannons, designed to reduce manual control and enable advanced combat automation.

Instead of manually aiming and firing, you can build a modular control structure that handles targeting, rotation, and shooting for you.

Version 1.0.6 adds a new block that sets filters and activates or deactivates all controllers within a 20-block radius

Features

Automatic Targeting

Cannons can automatically detect and track targets in range.

Advanced Target Filtering

Configure exactly what your cannon should attack:

Hostile mobs

Passive mobs

Players

Custom categories

Player Whitelist

Prevent friendly fire by excluding specific players from targeting.

Modular Control System

Uses multiple functional blocks:

Controller (main logic & UI)

Pitch / Yaw control (aiming)

Fire control

Built-in Ammo Handling

Controller can act as an item input for feeding autocannons.

In-Game UI

Easily configure targeting behavior, filters, and activation.

Multiplayer Ready

Fully synchronized between client and server.

How it works

Install the control unit on the gun.There should be no blocks around the sides of the base for opening that overlap the sides responsible for shooting actions and the sides of the sides for vertical and horizontal aiming.

(At this point, you can install the controller unit on an existing physical structure)

Place the controller block on the mount Make sure the structure has enough space to assemble Open the UI and configure targeting Activate the system

Use Cases Automated base defense systems

PvE mob farms with artillery

PvP turret setups

Technical builds without complex redstone
