Custom Gun Continued
by XiaoColorful
Custom Gun Continued is a Forge and NeoForge derivative of TaCZ that keeps custom gunpacks loading as the game moves forward.
What it does
Custom Gun Continued is a derivative of TaCZ, the gun mod it grew from, and continues its line of custom guns for Minecraft Java Edition. Gunpacks made for the original can be loaded here, and the mod is built to keep them working as new game versions arrive.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so gunpacks distributed with it must be free. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod installed.
Packaging of data and resources has been moved into the standard vanilla folders, which removes the need to keep them together in one designated directory. Gunpack parsing uses streaming instead of tree-based deserialization, which improves parsing speed, and most fields have been renamed to match what they do, while the legacy names are still read.
Key features
Continued custom guns
Custom guns keep working across new Minecraft versions, with gunpacks loaded in the same way as the original TaCZ.
Streaming gunpack parsing
Gunpacks are read as a stream rather than a full tree, which the author describes as a significant parsing speed gain.
Vanilla directory layout
Data packs and resource packs sit in the standard vanilla folders instead of one shared bundle directory.
Targeted gunpack optimizations
Specific changes target how gunpacks are loaded, while legacy field names remain readable.
