Modular Weapons
by kino_a
Modular Weapons lets players build guns from a workbench, swapping barrels and parts so each weapon fits a different style of play.
What it does
A weapon is assembled in a workbench, which is crafted first. Players craft a base weapon, for example a rifle, then place it in the workbench and rotate it in a menu, with a drag preview showing the result. Different parts can be added to the base, and the barrel decides how the weapon shoots and what ammo it needs from the inventory.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 only, and it has to be installed on the server and on every player's client. Modular Weapons is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Workbench assembly
Weapons are built from a base item in a workbench, and parts are attached to customize the result.
Interchangeable barrels
A multi-barrel gun can switch between Gunner and Sniper barrels, each trading rate of fire against damage and range.
Zoom and fire controls
Left click shoots and right click zooms, so the same weapon can handle close fights and distant targets.
Incendiary ammo
Incendiary ammo sets the block a shot hits on fire, lasting 32 shots per stack of this ammo type.
