Guns Of 1800s
Guns Of 1800s is a Forge addition that brings six 19th-century firearms into the game, with a multistep crafting path and a gunpowder recipe built from two new ores.
What it does
Guns Of 1800s adds six guns modeled on the 19th century, from a Flintlock Pistol that holds 6 bullets with short range and low damage, to a Bolt Action Rifle that holds only 8 rounds, fires slower and has the longest range. Between them sit a Lever Action Rifle with 15 rounds at medium range and a fast fire rate, and a pair of guns that differ mainly in cost and reliability: cheap guns are inaccurate and jam often, while more expensive ones hold up better in the field.
Guns are reloaded from a Powder Flask that has to be held in the offhand and refilled with gunpowder after four uses. Gunpowder can be made from two ores the mod adds, sulfur and saltpeter. Crafting guns goes through several steps, since the player first makes components such as a barrel and a gun mechanism. Most guns have iron sights, and clicking the Z button zooms in to aim more accurately.
The mod is published for Forge 1.20.1 only. It needs both the server and every player to run it, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Six period firearms
Pistols, rifles and a shotgun-style gun cover short, medium and long range, each with its own ammunition capacity.
Powder Flask reloading
Reloading uses a flask held in the offhand, which must be refilled with gunpowder after four uses.
Multistep gun crafting
Guns are assembled from separately crafted components, so the build path takes several stages.
Iron sights and zoom
Most guns have iron sights, and the Z button zooms in for more accurate aim.
