Assemble Guns
by PellucidDice
Assemble Guns lets players build firearms from parts on Forge 1.16.5, with attachments and durability that change how each gun performs.
What it does
A gun starts as a prototype, which players find at the A.V.A Crafting Table. From there the firearm can be customized: different attachments change how it looks and what it does, and an anvil lets players shift-click a gun to work on it. Each combination of parts gives the weapon its own functions.
Durability works as a maintenance bar. A gun's stats are tied to its durability, and shots reduce it in proportion to the magazine capacity, so a fuller load wears the weapon more. Worn guns can be repaired at an anvil using Work Hardened Iron, and the mod can also give different quantities of durability to different guns.
Assemble Guns is published for Forge 1.16.5 only, with its latest file, 1.16.5-1.0.7, dated 2023-03-25. Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved, and public links to its source code and issue tracker exist.
Key features
Prototype guns
Guns begin as prototypes found at the A.V.A Crafting Table, then get built up from there.
Attachment choice
Players select different attachments for a gun, and each combination changes its look and function.
Anvil customization
Shift-clicking a gun on an anvil opens the customization step for that weapon.
Durability and efficiency
Durability ties to stats such as accuracy and stability, so a gun at 90 out of 100 runs at about 90 percent efficiency.
Shot wear by capacity
Each shot's durability cost depends on capacity, and attachments alter the rate at which durability drops.
Repair with Work Hardened Iron
Damaged guns are restored at an anvil using Work Hardened Iron as the repair material.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who like building their own firearms in Forge 1.16.5 worlds, and server owners who want guns with attachments and a durability system on a multiplayer server.
