Ranged Knights Medieval Boomsticks and Sharpsticks
Players who want medieval firearms and ranged weapons can add Ranged Knights Medieval Boomsticks and Sharpsticks, a 1.20.1 weapon addon that brings several 3D animated guns and bows to the game.
What it does
Ranged Knights adds medieval-era ranged and melee weapons, including historical firearms such as an arquebus and a spiked hand-gonne that fires three bullets at once, a heavy arbalest crossbow with custom animation, and a legendary firearm. Throwing rocks, maces, throwing weapons and a dyable javelin make up the melee side. Three iron-based ores support alloying and casting for new materials, and several intermediate crafting items feed enhanced recipes. Some items are still placeholders for future content, and a few are craftable already.
Installation needs Epic Knights: Shields Armor and Weapons and Geckolib, which supplies the functional animations. The server and every player need the mod installed. Fabric and Forge files are published for 1.20.1, with the Fabric build at 1.0.1 and the Forge build at 1.0, under All rights reserved; the code is not open source. Most weapons work alongside the Recruits mod, and the issue tracker is public.

How it compares
Liamo Co.'s More Ranged Items is a Forge addon for 1.20.1 that is also client and server, but it is not open source and is under All rights reserved. Medieval Kingdom Armors is a Forge armor mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, so it covers armor rather than the firearms and throwing weapons in this mod.
