About this Mod
Long story short, this mod was created solely because I see someone pointed out that the rotated programmer art horse armor looks like a gun + the fact that server like Mineplex or Hypixel also use them for gun in one of their minigame.
This mod is meant to be very basic and doesn't add a lot to the game; you can pretty much add this mod into any modpack you want too.
How do the guns work?
-Well, you just aim at the mob you desire and right-click, and that's it. There is no projectile, no recoil, and no ammo consumption, but you do lose your durability, though, so make sure your aim is correct and don't spam too much, k? The gun range is not unlimited.
Items:
-Wooden Gun | Damage = 2.5 | Range = 7.5 blocks
-Copper Gun | Damage = 3.5 | Range = 8.5 blocks
-Iron Gun | Damage = 4.5 | Range = 10 blocks
-Golden Gun | Damage = 3.5 | Range = 8.5 blocks | Can be used to trade with Piglin
-Diamond Gun | Damage = 5.5 | Range = 13 blocks
-Netherite Gun | Damage = 6.5 | Range = 15 blocks | Immune to fire and lava
Obtain:
-Aside from crafting, you can also find a gun in some structure or trade with a weaponsmith villager.
Enchantment:
-Impact (I-V): increases damage of the gun.
-Longshot (I-III): increase range of the gun.
-Incendiary (I-II): set target on fire for a short amount of time.
-Deadeye (treasure): change the gun into a sniper with huge range and damage increase, but every shot now has a 5-second cooldown, and you are moving slower while you are holding it.
