Luish's Guns
by Luish54
With Luish's Guns installed on a server, players can carry survival-friendly, vanilla-like firearms that use animations, durability and craftable ammunition.
What it does
Luish's Guns adds firearms styled after weapons of the industrial period, including a rifle, a shotgun and a double-barreled shotgun. Each weapon has shooting animations and a durability value that wears down with use. Ammunition can be crafted, and the weapons can be found in some loot chests around the world, including those in villages and pillager outposts. The mechanics are described by the author as balanced, and more weapons are planned for later updates.
The mod is a server-side install: the server requires it, while clients may leave it out. Luish's Guns Crafting Add-on is an optional companion that the author lists separately. The mod is not open source, and it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license. Files target 1.21.5 – 1.21.8 and a snapshot build is published. Each file is marked alpha, and the latest is 2.2.5 for 1.21.8, dated 2025-08-07. A data pack is also supplied, so the guns can be given with a command: /loot give followed by the loot table name and the gun item.
Key features
Animated shooting
Each firearm plays animations when it is fired, so the shot reads as a physical action rather than a plain projectile.
Weapon durability
Guns lose durability with use, so a player has to repair or replace a weapon over time.
Craftable ammunition
Ammunition is made from crafting recipes rather than found only in loot, which ties supply to the player's progress.
Physical projectiles
Shots can break glass and fragile blocks, and a shotgun fires several pellets that spread randomly.
