What it does

The mod introduces several firearms, including pistols, rifles and shotguns, and uses simple shooting mechanics meant to be quick to pick up. Guns are one-handed, so a player can hold one in the main hand and another in the off-hand, or carry a gun in the off-hand in place of a shield. These combinations are the tactical choices the mod is built around, and the author describes it as a way to add long-range combat to Minecraft.

The mod requires GeckoLib, playerAnimator and Forge, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server has to install it. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. The author advises backing up the world before use and notes possible compatibility issues with other mods.

Key features

  1. Multiple firearm types

    Pistols, rifles and shotguns are included, each handled as a one-handed weapon.

  2. Dual-wielding

    A player can hold two guns, one in each hand, and fire them as a pair.

  3. Sidearm and shield swap

    The off-hand can hold a gun instead of a shield, which changes how a player fights at close range.

  4. Simple shooting

    Firing is intended to be direct, without a long setup, so the guns can be used right away.
