First of all, Trebuchets are REALLY powerful, but, as being such, are relatively huge. I'm not saying that siege weapons were small by any length, but Trebs were humongous.

Secondly, they would probably be really hard to code. There are all sorts of variables that you would need to take into account when building one. As mentioned earlier, they would be huge - probably the size of the Mallorn Ent or bigger, so I imagine (since I don't really know how modding works) that it would be a major endeavor, and I have been going (mostly) for simplicity.

Thirdly, I don't know whether they would have been around in Middle Earth. I would have thought that the orcs had them, but Zombielizard made a comment to the effect of that they probably wouldn't have had them at the relative IRL time, and I believe him.

So, yes. I would LOVE to have Trebuchets in Minecraft, but I don't know whether it would be possible, or worth the time. Thanks though! I won't forget about Trebs completely.
