Video description

In this episode of 'Turtle Programs' we meet again turtle T17 and learn about the turtle program buildHead. With it you can build more than 16 different mob heads (for the exact number you can either count them in the video or have a look into the code). All heads are 8x8 and can be built horizontally as a platform or vertically like a wall. I will also submit this program to dan200, as he is looking for community made programs to include in ComputerCraft. This would be great :) In the final time-lapse we see 14 turtles many, many heads,enjoy! :) Links: program buildHead: http://pastebin.com/HP3AW3sd About the mods: I'm using FTB modpack Direwolf20 1.5 (v1.1.2) with CameraStudio (v2.8.5). Turtles are part of dan200's mod computercraft which is about computers, programming and robotics in minecraft: http://www.computercraft.info Computercraft uses the programming language LUA: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/ Music: Pamgaea, by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).

What it does

This program allows a turtle to build over 16 different 8x8 mob heads in Minecraft. Heads can be constructed horizontally (as a platform) or vertically (like a wall).

Setup

You'll need a turtle (such as a mining or crafting turtle) with sufficient fuel and the necessary blocks in its inventory for the chosen mob head.
Download the program in-game using: pastebin get HP3AW3sd buildHead (or visit http://pastebin.com/HP3AW3sd).

Usage

Run the program with buildHead followed by options for the specific mob head and orientation (horizontal or vertical). For the exact list of supported heads and commands, check the video or program code.

Tips

The program is designed for community inclusion in ComputerCraft—watch the time-lapse in the video for inspiration on large-scale builds with multiple turtles.
