Projectile Launchers
by Pine991178
Projectile Launchers adds guns that fire Minecraft's own projectiles, and it is a NeoForge equipment mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.10.
What it does
Launchers in this mod shoot the projectiles vanilla Minecraft already uses, so shots behave like the game's arrows and other thrown items rather than a separate weapon system. The mod is meant to sit alongside vanilla content without replacing it. Its gun recipes are shown in the gallery crafting section of the author's text. Files exist for 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, with 0.1.1 for 1.21.10 as the latest NeoForge file. Client and server: both the server and every player need it. The code is under All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
The issue tracker is the only public link listed for the project. It is the place to report problems or follow development.
