About this Mod

This datapack IS multiplayer friendly! Have fun with your friends on a server!

Try using /function thepa:quickfix if you notice any strange behavior!

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, USE THIS SITE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE

Just for reference as well, right click to scope in. Shift + right click to reload, left click to shoot. To change it back to the legacy firing system (right click to shoot), use the config menu.

To open the config menu. press G or your dialog key, or select the option in the escape menu. All of the old methods for doing those things still work, but dialogs will be the only future for these features.

Reloading costs ammo, to get around this, you can add an inf_reload tag to yourself to not require ammo anymore

/tag @s add inf_reload

To Change the Recoil System (original values are bloom enabled and recoil enabled) USE

/function thepa:recoil_menu

To change mobs holding weapons (original value is Some: 1/20) USE

/function thepa:adjust_mobs

Explanations of Recoil Systems

Bloom: Bullets randomly deviate from the trajectory, in other words, the bullets may not hit where the crosshair is aimed. (Most popular game with this mechanic is Fortnite)

Recoil: Your camera is moved up whenever a bullet is fired, simulating recoil IRL (Most popular games have this feature)

Camera Movement: Instead of the bullets randomly deviating like bloom, the bullets hit the crosshair, but the camera motion is shaken, making SMGs and LMGs much harder to accurately aim while keeping snipers and revolvers mostly the same (Most popular game to have this feature is Call of Duty)

Spray Patterns: The recoil is simulated to where every time you shoot each unique gun, the way the camera is moved will be the same. (Most popular game to use this mechanic is CS:GO)

Scoping makes shooting more accurate, but also obscures more of your vision.
New Scopes are out on Sniper Rifles!, Improved Visibility at Range!

Headshots do increased damage!

Also, all the colored blocks in the crafting recipes are concrete. Recipes are all in the book and in the crafting table.

To reload the tesla gun, throw it on a lightning rod and wait for lightning to strike.

If you have an error, do /reload, if that doesn't work, ask in the comments

To add suppressors or lasersights to a weapon, just throw the weapon and the suppressor/lasersight together on the ground.
