Ender's Muskets
by Ender2010PL
Ender's Muskets, a Forge equipment mod for 1.16.5, adds muskets that players reload by hand and fire with the right mouse button.
What it does
The mod introduces a small set of muskets that reload in the same way as a crossbow, with custom reloading sounds. A player sneaks and right-clicks to load a single bullet, then right-clicks again to shoot. Two guns are described in the author notes: one deals 24 damage with a reload of 70 ticks (3.5 seconds) and 768 uses, and loads cartridges as ammo; the other deals 15 damage with a reload of 40 ticks (2 seconds) and 512 uses, and loads metal balls.
The author recommends playing with JEI recipes, and the mod makes the repeater obtainable. It adds a new gun element to the gun system and a guns-with-magazines instruction. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its only published files target Forge for 1.16.5, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.

How it compares
Simple Musket is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 with client and server, so it covers more loaders and versions. Mo' Guns is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, runs on Forge for 1.16.5 – 1.19.2 and needs both sides. Galosphere Muskets runs on four loaders for 1.20.1, but the server is required and the client is optional, and it is released under the MIT License.
