About this Mod
Mechanics
RMB loads and fires guns. Full sized ones can't be used from offhand.
All guns are unusable inside water and bullets lose power when flying through it.
Bullets can ignite TNT and destroy some blocks (only non-stained glass panes by default).
Headshots increase bullet damage by 30% (applies to most bipedal mobs).

Monsters
Pillagers and skeletons (all kinds) can use guns. They also may spawn with one (20% for pillagers with a pistol, 5% for skeletons with a musket).
Monsters deal 50% damage with guns by default.
Configuration:
Settings can be accessed from Forge/NeoForge mods menu or via Mod Menu on Fabric.
Bullet spread follows normal distribution like in real life but it is awkward to configure. Here is a table that should help with that: bulletStdDev

Server lagging with Musket Mod – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Musket Mod consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
