v1.1.2 Beta for Minecraft 26.2.x

This patched version of the v1.1.2-beta is for the latest 26.2.x version of Minecraft, allowing players from the latest version to finally play the mod as well.

On the recent v1.1.1-beta, bugs got through and I completely forgot to add the Missile Turret's death loot. This patch added the missing death loot alongside some fixes to some potentially hazardous (crash-level hazard) bugs preventing the mod from being played in a server.

What's New?

🟢 Add forgotten and missing Missile Turret death loot table.
🟡 Bumped version to v1.1.2-beta.
🟡 Fix and specify the environment of some codes, allowing use of this mod in servers.
🔴 Downgrade rarity of MG Turret recipe items from UNCOMMON to COMMON.

v1.1.1 Beta for Minecraft 1.21.11

Some bugs got through the v1.1.0-beta-1.21.11 release. This makes the turrets that shoots explosive projectile stronger than intended. This patch fixes said bug.

Some development commands are also released accidentally. While said commands posed no threat nor breaking effect in the game, it is still recommended to update to v1.1.1-beta-1.21.11 to fix the mentioned bug above.

What's New?

🟡 Fix double damage on explosive projectile.
🟡 Fix entity not getting knocked back when hit by the explosive projectile.
🟡 Fix entity outside spherical radius of explosion being included in the custom explosion system.
🔴 Remove pose commands.

v1.1.0 Beta for Minecraft 1.21.11

Implementation of Tier 2 turrets meant upgrades in some way or another. Tier 2 turrets are created by "assembling" them in a flat recipe in the new Turret Assembly Station (TAS) block which provides a 7x7 crafting grid and custom recipe book (called Blueprint). The TAS offers discounted crafting recipes for Tier 1 turrets (which are the Cannon, Ballista, and MG Turret) while providing access to Tier 2 turrets (AA Turret, Flame Turret, and Missile Turret). Alongside the new turrets is the new Electric Fence block that behaves like normal vanilla fence, but damages entities that get too close.

What's New?

Turrets

🟢 Add AA Turret (based on Flak 88). Projectile used is called Flak Projectile.
🟢 Add Flame Turret. "Projectile" used is called Flammable Aerosol.
🟢 Add Missile Turret. Projectile used is called Micro Missile.
🟢 Add new entity type tags, namely: #dm:flying_hostiles, #dm:is_projectile, #dm:projectiles, #dm:tier_1_turrets, #dm:tier_2_turrets, and #dm:turrets.
🟡 Cannon Turret got a new model to match (kinda) the other Tier 1 turrets.

Blocks

🟢 Add Turret Assembly Stations (TAS) for creating Tier 2 turrets under the "Functional Blocks" tab.
🟢 Add Electric Fence as a new kind of static defense under the "Trap" category and tab.

Mechanics/Systems

🟢 Add recipe advancements for all craftable items in this mod.
🟢 Add new Crafting UI and custom recipe book called "Blueprint" for the new TAS block.
🟢 Add new stat that tracks player interaction with the new TAS block.

1.0.2 Beta for Minecraft 1.21.11

Major refactorization was done to the rendering pipeline alongside its main module base class creation, allowing easier and faster implementation of future turrets. Various models are updated after removing Geckolib dependency, allowing the mod without relying on said dependency's status.

Some bugs are ironed out while also attempting to improve turret optimization and crash prevention.

What's New?
