Napoleon Weaponry
by lifthaw
Napoleon Weaponry adds flintlock firearms, cannons and sabers from the Napoleonic era to Minecraft, replacing the vanilla combat tools with period-style weapons.
What it does
Napoleon Weaponry replaces vanilla melee and ranged combat with historical flintlock firearms, cannons and sabers. The weapon models include a detailed lock mechanism, and the cannon line includes a Gribeauval 8-pounder. Textures are drawn at 32x and aim to match the look of the base game, which suits historical role-play and survival worlds set in the period.
Projectiles interact with the world. Bullets lose speed and damage when they pass through soft cover such as leaves, glass shatters, pots break, and TNT ignites on impact. Water slows projectiles sharply on entry, so shooting across lakes or rivers behaves differently from open air. Realistic shooting is meant to take practice.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric and Geckolib on both loaders. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files cover Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under All rights reserved, and snapshot support is not mentioned in the author text. A NeoForge build is listed as a future plan, not as a current file.
