About this Mod
There may be many mods that add muskets and other 19th century guns to Minecraft, but none ( that I have tested) have this many features.
Guns
- Musket: cheap but inaccurate, slow, and jams a lot
- Flintlock Pistol: like musket but cheaper
- Revolver: can hold 6 bullets, but short range and does low damage
- Lever Action Rifle: 15 rounds, medium range, and fast fire rate, but expensive
- Bolt Action Rifle: only 8 rounds, slower fire rate, and most expensive gun, but longest range and most damage.
- Shotgun: 2 shells, very short range, but high damage.
Special Mechanics
Jamming: your gun can rarely jam, and by clicking the reload key (R) you can unjam the gun, but it takes a bit. Muskets and Flintlock Pistol will jam the most, while Rifles will almost never jam.
Powder Flask: to reload Muskets and Flintlock Pistols you need to hold a filled Powder Flask in your offhand. After 4 uses you will have to refill it with gunpowder by putting it in your main hand and clicking the reload key (R).
Immersive Magazines: to fill an empty magazine or revolver ammo Box, you have to hold it in your main hand and click the reload key (R). this will open an immersive GUI, where you can put your empty magazines and bullets in slots and click a button to fill them.
Multistep Crafting: to craft guns, you'll first have to craft varying components, like a barrel or gun mechanism. this will make crafting guns much more rewarding, while still being simple.
Zooming: most guns will have iron sights, and by clicking the Z button, you can zoom and aim more accurately.
Gunpowder Crafting: I have added 2 ores, sulfur and saltpeter and an easy way to craft them into gunpowder.
