Modular Muskets
by dr.queso
Modular Muskets lets players assemble their own musket from a barrel, a stock, bracing and an optional augment, all put together at a Musket Station.
What it does
Each musket is built from parts chosen at the Musket Station, so one weapon can differ from another in barrel, stock, bracing and augment. Barrels and bracings change how shots behave, and aiming, firing and reloading follow a sneak-aim, hold-to-reload, click-to-fire sequence. The Weapon Station shows a stat preview of the built weapon before crafting, and third-person view draws the musket longer and pointed upward.
Parts are gathered through crafting and loot. Barrel stock bracings are found and crafted, the musket itself becomes craftable only after the station is built, and recipes give access to materials that can be picked up for further crafting. Two of the bracings also appear in chest loot: Iron Bracing in dungeons and Diamond Bracing in trial chamber reward chests, with Netherite and Echo Shulker parts rarer still.
The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2, and runs on the client and the server together, so both need it. The code is not open source and the code and files are licensed under All rights reserved, while the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Mix-and-match musket parts
A musket is assembled from a chosen barrel, stock, bracing and optional augment, so the same base weapon can take many forms.
Five custom stocks
Five new stocks, made from copper, iron, quartz, emerald, amethyst and lapis, each carry their own perks to test.
Sneak-aim reload and fire
Sneaking aims, holding starts the reload and a click fires, with the copper and iron scopes trading drift and speed against reload time.
Head shots deal more damage
Aiming at a target's head deals more damage than a body hit, giving the weapon a precision option.

What the author says
Build YOUR musket with a choice of barrel, stock bracing, and an augment. Put them all together in a Musket Station. No recipe for the musket itself. It only exists once you build it at the station. Recipes are unlocked when you get materials!
