Recoil Shotgun
by PhilXD
Recoil Shotgun is a Forge and NeoForge equipment mod that adds a shotgun which pushes the player backward when fired.
What it does
Firing the shotgun throws the player in the direction opposite the shot, so it doubles as a short-range movement tool. Its damage to enemies is light, and it can be used without any ammunition. Ammunition and reloading are tracked on screen: remaining shots appear as white dots near the center of the screen, alongside the shotgun's durability. The R key reloads the shotgun by default, and the binding can be altered from the controls menu. Recoil Shotgun requires Geckolib. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Shot counter display
Remaining shots show as white dots at the center of the screen, next to the shotgun's durability.
Rebindable reload key
Reloading uses the R key by default, and the binding can be changed in the controls settings.
