While not explicitly mentioned by Tolkein, these medieval fortifications fit well into Middle Earth and I do not believe there are many here who has not wanted to use them in a Minecraft castle build at some point.

For those who do not know, arrow slits are narrow slits in a castle wall that give the archer or crossbower inside protection while still enabling him to shoot his enemy's outside. They achieve this by being wider on the inside than on the outside; otherwise the archer would not be able to draw his bow. For crossbowers the slot requires an extra slit that allows them to draw their differently shaped weapon.

Implementation within the mod In the mod arrow slits would be two blocks tall and the actual slit would be 1.25 in height. They would be twice as wide on the inner side than on the outside. Most importantly (If possible) they would have a different collision box to a normal block, only allowing arrows through in the airy centre.

Arrow slits would be crafted like a furnace but of smooth stone (or other noted material.) on the regular or faction crafting table. They would come in: stone, sarlluin, sarngaran, gondor, Rohan, and Mordor rocks, as well as other particularly different faction brick colours. Crossbow slots are also a possibility but I do not think they are required.

Thank you for taking your time reading this. I hope you like the idea. Constructive criticism is welcome.
