Handcannon
by mewterdew
Handcannon adds an Arquebus firearm item and two Arquebus Bullet items to NeoForge 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, as a ranged alternative to the bow and crossbow.
What it does
The Arquebus is a single-shot ranged weapon that the author describes as a stronger option than the bow or crossbow, with fewer uses per item, reaching up to 32 blocks and capable of killing mobs in a single shot. Its shots are inaccurate over long distances. Recipes for the new items become available after a player acquires gunpowder. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for NeoForge only. The author released it primarily for personal use. Handcannon is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source.
