About this Mod
This mod adds the Handgonne, a medieval firearm recently popularized by "Kingdom Come: Deliverance II" to Minecraft. I made this mod because I was dissatisfied with the lack of gun mods that fit the game both thematically and aesthetically.
The mod adds the Handgonne, as well as 2 ammo types: Handgonne Ball and Handgonne Grapeshot.
Content:
Handgonne
Right click to fire. Properties of the projectile change depending on the type of ammo used.
Handgonne Ball
A small ball manufactured from iron and bundled with gunpowder and wadding.
Fires a single, fast, precise projectile with a 50% chance of piercing the target. Prioritized over Handgonne Grapeshot when firing.
Handgonne Grapeshot
Several small pebbles bundled with gunpowder and wadding.
Fires three, slower projectiles in a spread. Projectiles may ricochet off of entities that have invincibility frames (are flashing red) on impact. Consumes 2 durability.
