Simple Guns
by Tudor1044
Simple Guns is a Forge addition for 1.20.1 that puts basic firearms into survival, from a quick sidearm to a sniper rifle and a flaming gun.
What it does
Players can craft a small set of guns that fit early and mid survival. The sidearm is quick and reliable, the automatic weapons keep firing while the trigger is held, and the sniper rifle offers long range with a slight zoom. A fire gun shoots flaming ammunition, and stones can be thrown as a crude weapon in the earliest stage of a world, before anything better is available.
The guns are meant for single-player worlds and multiplayer servers that run on Forge 1.20.1. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed. Weapon skins let players change how a gun looks, with designs modeled on well-known pistols and rifles. The mod is published under All rights reserved and is not open source, and the latest Forge file is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, released 2024-12-29.
Key features
Automatic fire
An automatic gun keeps shooting continuously while the attack input is held, instead of firing one shot per click.
Sidearm and sniper rifle
A quick, reliable sidearm covers close fights, while the sniper rifle trades speed for long range and a slight zoom.
Flaming ammunition
The fire gun shoots flaming rounds, adding a second kind of ammunition beside the standard ones.
Weapon skins
Guns can be customized with skins that change their appearance without changing how they fire.
