Old Guns

by Baelzarethes

With Old Guns, players can equip firearms with animated models, load magazines by hand and handle a simple ammunition loop on Forge and NeoForge.

What it does

Old Guns adds firearms to Minecraft with their own animations. Players equip bullets into a magazine by right-clicking while holding it, unload a magazine with the U key, and press Left Alt to inspect a gun. Ammunition is supplied as clips. Iron is smelted with coal in a furnace to produce steel, and guns are assembled at a Gun Crafting Station recipe, which the author suggests viewing through JEI.

The mod is client and server: the server and every player need it, so both sides must run the same build. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge only, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.5.1.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Animated firearms

    Guns come with their own animations, shown on the player when a weapon is held or handled.

  2. Magazine loading

    Bullets are placed into a magazine by holding the magazine and right-clicking with ammunition.

  3. Unloading and inspection

    The U key empties a magazine, and Left Alt plays a short look animation for the held weapon.

  4. Crafted from steel

    Steel is produced by smelting iron with coal, and the steel feeds into gun crafting at the station.

How it compares

Full comparison

MineGO is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and runs on both Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, which matches Old Guns' loaders and range. FJ27cool's Guns is NeoForge only for 1.21.1, and Guns Without Roses covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, so it reaches older versions than Old Guns. Both are All rights reserved, like Old Guns.
