Handgonne - Medieval Firearm
by robo
Handgonne - Medieval Firearm brings a medieval hand cannon to Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, with two ammunition types for the weapon.
What it does
The weapon draws on the medieval handgonne, a early hand cannon that the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance II brought back into wider notice. The author made the mod because few gun mods fit the game both in theme and in feel. Installing it on a Forge server requires the same files on every player's client, since the mod runs on client and server. Files are published for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest build, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Medieval hand cannon
A handheld firearm styled after the medieval handgonne, added to the ranged weapons of the game.
Two ammunition types
The handgonne fires either a ball or grapeshot, giving players a choice between single shots and scatter shots.
Period-fitting design
Built to suit a medieval setting instead of modern firearms, so it sits alongside swords and bows.
