    It would be nice to see the normal turtles, the ones without any upgrades (Turtle and Advanced Turtle) unbanned in the overworld as they're not able to mine blocks. So it would be nice to see the default turtles added back.

    Hello,
    You forgot to include what server. What purpose would this serve? I know normal turtles can be used to bypass claim protrctions without mining.

    Oh, sorry. The crackpack server, it would be nice to have them in it because ComputerCraft is one of my favourite mods and I feel really restricted by the fact that I can only use them in worlds that will reset

    You could just use a computer. They are banned because they bypass claims.

    Normal computers can't handle inventories efficiently and cannot analyse blocks

    Which is why turtles are banned as thats how you bypass protections.

    If Crackpack has OpenPeripherals, the majority of inventories can act as peripherals, so most setups which would normally require turtles can be remade with computers and a little ingenuity.

    Functionally there isn't any difference between a "normal turtle" and a "mining turtle".. if you put a pickaxe in the inventory of a basic turtle and then run turtle.equipRight() or turtle.equipLeft() then it instantly becomes a mining turtle capable of breaking blocks.. so even if turtles didn't have other ways of bypassing claims, it still wouldn't be possible to unban only the basic one.
