What it does

Players craft firearms, ammunition, magazines and attachments through survival progression, then shoot with left-click, aim with right-click and reload magazines. Recoil, movement spread, a dynamic crosshair, hit markers, muzzle effects and bullet trails shape the handling. Enemy gunners, raids and late-game aerial threats fill the world, and a four-chapter combat-career guide in five languages explains the systems.

Vehicles are assembled through progression, deployed in the world and driven with normal movement inputs. Driver seats control movement while weapon or co-pilot seats handle turrets, missiles and defensive tools. Geckolib is required. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only.

Key features

  1. Firearm lineup

    Handguns, long guns, automatic weapons, launchers, bows and late-game special guns are included.

  2. Modern gun handling

    Magazine reloads, recoil, movement spread, a dynamic crosshair, hit markers, muzzle effects and bullet trails shape each shot.

  3. Extended magazines

    Base, extended and drum magazines can be loaded into supported rifles, SMGs and shotguns.

  4. Animated gun inspection

    Pressing Y inspects a held animated gun with its own animation.

  5. Vehicle combat

    Vehicles carry turrets, missiles, target locks and repair tools, with a HUD showing weapon state, reload timing and damage.
