Chunky guns
by AdaOfficial
Chunky guns adds firearms to Minecraft, with weapons players craft, load and fire during fights, built for Fabric 1.19.3.
What it does
Guns are the main addition. Players craft them, use ammunition and fire at mobs or other players. Each weapon is shown with animated models, so the firing and reloading can be seen on screen. The mod is written for Minecraft 1.19.3 and Fabric only, with no Forge or NeoForge build listed.
Geckolib powers the animations and MidnightLib supplies shared code, so both have to be installed next to Chunky guns. Fabric API is required as well. The mod runs on client and server, meaning the server and every player need it for the weapons to work in multiplayer.
The project is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. The first file was published on 2023-10-24, and the latest Fabric file, 1.0.0 for 1.19.3, followed on 2023-11-07.
Key features
Crafted firearms
Weapons are crafted from materials in the game and used like any other tool in a player's inventory.
Ammunition system
Guns consume ammunition items when fired, so players must produce or gather bullets to keep shooting.
Animated weapon models
Guns are drawn with Geckolib animations, which show the weapon moving while it fires and reloads.
Combat against mobs
Firearms can be aimed and fired at hostile mobs and players, adding ranged combat to survival play.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want firearms in a Fabric 1.19.3 world, and server owners who plan to run a warfare or PvP server. Since the mod is required on both sides, every player on the server must install it as well as the server itself.
How it compares
Gravity Guns is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and runs on Fabric for 1.17 – 1.17.1, so it targets a much older version than Chunky guns. Immersive Guns is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, built for Fabric 1.20.1 and set to client and server. Immersive Guns: crafts fix uses the MIT License and covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.1 with a server-required, client-optional setup.
