Flint'N'Powder - Guns, Cultists, Reloads!
Flint'N'Powder - Guns, Cultists, Reloads! adds old firearms whose loading and firing follow several separate steps, plus a few mobs and melee-focused combat.
What it does
Guns in the mod are muzzleloaders and early firearms, such as matchlocks, flint-and-hole guns and flintlocks, along with endlock weapons. Reloading is split into steps: a player pours gunpowder while holding it in the offhand, loads a bullet of the right calibre, and uses a ramrod, which needs a stick, to seat the charge. Some guns also need a special action to fire, such as striking a flint in the offhand or igniting a matchlock with flint and steel. Each weapon has its own calibre, firing mechanism and reload sequence, described in the Book of a Thousand Guns.
The mod is built around a vanilla-like progression and adds only a few mobs, with Cultists as simple unarmored ranged enemies that spawn in squads of three to four and patrol. They appear in Dripstone Caves and Lush Caves. Flint'N'Powder is installed on Forge for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with its source code published.
Key features
Multi-step reloading
Gunpowder is poured, a bullet is loaded and a ramrod seats the charge, each as a separate action.
Special firing actions
Matchlocks are ignited with flint and steel in the offhand, and flint-and-hole guns are struck with flint until they fire.
Endlock reloads
Endlock guns follow their own reload routine, distinct from muzzleloaders.
Enchantments for guns
Quality Propellant, Birdshot, Ghost Loading, Trigger Finger, Swift Reload and Ramrod Mastery each change one part of a weapon's behavior, and each applies only to a set of firearms.
Cultist mobs
Cultists are simple unarmored ranged mobs that spawn in squads and patrol, adding a light enemy to the mod's caves.

How it compares
Easy Guns, Simple Guns and Lazer Guns mod are all Forge mods for 1.20.1 that the client and server both run, and all are released under All rights reserved, so none is open source. Guns with infinite ammo lacks the reload chain entirely and, like the others, is not open source. Flint'N'Powder differs from these in that its guns are muzzleloaders with separate reload steps and it is open source.
