Skulk sensor turret

The Skulk Sensor Turret: an automatic turret that shoots arrows. It has a two second cooldown in between shots.

Recipe: 1 Skulk Sensor, 1 Dispenser, and 1 Crossbow.

The dispenser would be face up and have skulk tentacles covering it (kind of like how moss covers the cobblestone for mossy cobblestone) with a crossbow attached at the top. The dispenser would hold the arrows, the skulk sensor would sense the enemy location and give off a redstone signal to the dispenser, and the crossbow would spin to face the area the enemy is in, and the Skulk Sensor Turret would fire. This would all happen in about half a second, but it has a two second cooldown. Since we have all been wanting a one-piece defense system, I think this would be a great addition to Minecraft.

Keep in mind that this machine is balanced in rarity and function.                  Sincerely,[insert username]

    Hope you guys like it! 

    P.S. I always love it when people tell me if they like it (or not), and why they do like it (or don't), so please leave comments!

    I would prefer it if the turret wasn't made with a sulk sensor: that feels to organic. However I would be totally on board with this idea if the turret was crafted with an observer.

    Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it! The reason behind the skulk sensor is that it can sense enemies within a broad 360 degree range, and sends a signal that "tells the crossbow" exactly where the enemy is standing, allowing the crossbow to turn and fire very quickly. However I am also very interested in the observer idea... could you share some more details with me?

    Most people just trap pillagers in the walls of their bases. But as for the suggestion, it sounds cool and I would use it but I don't think Mojang will really like it.

    this could be really cool, but maybe it should be activated by redstone. just a thought.
