by iron431

With Iron's Arms 'n Artifice, players can craft historical-fantasy firearms that take modifiers and stack bullets, on NeoForge and requiring Geckolib.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

The mod combines historical-fantasy firearms with artificer-style buildcrafting. The simplest gun, a flintlock pistol, needs little wood, iron and a blackpowder craft. Blackpowder is a new crafting ingredient that feeds into guns, modifiers and bullets, and several mechanical components let players forge other guns as well.

Modifiers are crafted from many different ingredients, and a gun can be modified while held by pressing the G key to open its modifier slot menu. Pressing R reloads the gun and stacks extra rounds into it. An enemy called the Illificer drops modifiers from the gun it was killed with, and players can meet him later in raid waves and illager patrols. The recipe book lists the recipes for learning the mod.

Iron's Arms 'n Artifice runs on NeoForge for 26.1.2 and 1.21.1, with Geckolib as a required dependency. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, and the code is not open source. Files were first published on 2026-08-16 and last updated on 2026-10-07.
