About this Mod
RenaissanceMuskets Mod
This mod adds black powder firearms from the Renaissance era, including the, Arquebus, Wheellock Pistol, and Handgonne. On servers, weapon stats such as damage, reload speed, and accuracy can be customized through the configuration file, just like any other mod on a Server;
If you wish to configure these values on a client game, they can be adjusted with a mod menu.
How the Firearms work
The Arquebus, Handgonne, and Wheellock Pistol reload and fire like the Crossbow; to fire these weapons you must have Lead Shot in your inventory. The Arquebus shoots a single shot like a musket, and the Wheellock Pistol can be dual wielded. The Handgonne fires a spread like a shotgun. Pillagers can spawn with an Arquebus, and Skeletons can spawn with a Handgonne.
