Gren

by fizhywavez123

Gren is a Fabric and Forge fork of the Bren gun mod that adds new firearms, magazines and PvP balancing changes for Minecraft 1.20.1.

What it does

Gren adds new guns, magazines and weaponry to the game, and its changes focus on the arcade-style gun system that the Bren mod introduced. The author also adjusts PvP balancing, including a damage increase for the SMG to compensate for a firing-rate bug in the Forge build. Fixes and updates from the original project are carried over, and a weapon gallery is linked from the author text.

Gren runs on the client and the server, so both sides need the mod installed for the weapons to work in multiplayer. It is published for 1.20.1 only, on Fabric and Forge. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source; the Forge source is linked from the page because only one source link can be listed. Credits go to the nova-committee team and to Bren-Reforged for bug fixing and shared code.

Key features

  1. New firearms

    Additional guns are added to the existing arcade-style gun system, with their own ammunition and magazines.

  2. Magazine items

    Magazines are separate items that feed the new weapons, so ammunition is managed through inventory.

  3. PvP balancing

    Damage and firing values are tuned for player-versus-player combat, with the SMG's damage raised to offset its reduced rate of fire.

  4. Tap fire option

    Semi-automatic tap firing makes use of each weapon's maximum firing rate instead of holding the trigger.
