Just Enough Guns
by MigaMi
Just Enough Guns is a Forge and NeoForge gun mod that puts firearms into survival progression, where players gather resources across biomes before crafting weapons.
What it does
Guns are crafted at three workbenches, each tier gated by more valuable materials, and the strongest firearms need the rarest resources. Players travel through different biomes to collect them, so progression follows the search for materials. The mod is a fork of MrCrayfish's Gun Mod and keeps the firearm designs close to the look of vanilla Minecraft.
Guns and attachments lose durability with use. As durability drops, the chance of a gun jamming rises, and the Unbreaking and Mending enchantments reduce that risk. Framework is required on 1.18.2 and newer, and Geckolib is required for the Re-Animated versions. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later, and it is installed on both the client and the server. Files cover 1.18 – 1.20.1 across 8 release versions, and the latest Forge file is 0.14.5 for 1.20.1.
