Musket Mod
by ewewukek
Musket Mod adds craftable flintlock firearms for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with muskets, pistols, blunderbusses and related ammunition.
What it does
Players load and fire the guns with the right mouse button. Full-sized weapons cannot be used from the offhand slot, and no gun works underwater; bullets also lose power after passing through water. Bullets can ignite TNT and break some blocks, with only non-stained glass panes affected by default. A headshot raises bullet damage by 30 percent on most bipedal mobs.
Pillagers and skeletons of every kind can use guns, and some spawn already armed. Monsters deal half damage with guns by default. Settings are reached from the mods menu on Forge and NeoForge, or through the settings screen on Fabric. Bullet spread follows a normal distribution, and a table in the mod source page helps configure it.
Musket Mod requires Cloth Config API on every loader and Fabric API on Fabric. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it. It is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 across nine release versions.
Key features
Flintlock firearms
Several guns, from musket and pistol to blunderbuss, each with its own damage, durability and enchantment options.
Aiming and zoom
Certain weapons zoom when aimed with the right mouse button, which tightens accuracy and reduces bullet drop.
Explosive shots
Projectiles can set off TNT and wear away certain blocks, and the server can limit which ones are affected through settings.
Mob use
Pillagers and skeletons carry guns and can spawn with them, while monster damage from guns is reduced by default.

Use cases
Raids and combat

Who it’s for: Players who want firearms in a survival or adventure world, and server owners who tune damage, spread and mob behavior through the settings.

RMB loads and fires guns. Full sized ones can't be used from offhand. All guns are unusable inside water and bullets lose power when flying through it.
