Old West Weaponry
by GDwok
Old West Weaponry adds Sharps Rifle, Coach Shotgun, Revolver and Flintlock firearms, plus dynamite, to NeoForge for 1.21.8 – 1.21.10.
What it does
Old West Weaponry adds four firearms modeled on 19th-century designs: a Sharps Rifle, a Coach Shotgun, a Revolver and a Flintlock. Each one has its own shoot and reload animation, and the Revolver and Sharps Rifle can zoom in. Dynamite is also added as a projectile that bounces off blocks before it explodes. All guns draw from the same ammunition, so one stock of ammo serves every weapon.
The mod is released as a NeoForge build covering three game versions: 1.21.8, 1.21.9 and 1.21.10, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. It has to run on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Four firearms
The Sharps Rifle, Coach Shotgun, Revolver and Flintlock each have a distinct shoot and reload animation.
Zoom on rifles
The Revolver and Sharps Rifle can be zoomed, and the Revolver fires faster while zoomed.
Dynamite projectile
Dynamite flies as a projectile, bounces off blocks and explodes on impact.
Bleeding from rifle hits
A Sharps Rifle hit causes bleeding that deals damage over time until the target dies or is treated with bandages.
Shared ammunition
The guns use the same ammo, so a player does not carry a separate supply for each weapon.
