Tacticool Equipment
by birdmuncher
Tacticool Equipment adds 3D modeled modern, near-future and cyberpunk weapons and tools to Minecraft Forge 1.20.1, each with its own custom moveset.
What it does
The mod targets players who find the vanilla arsenal too plain for a fight against cyborgs and other futuristic threats. Its weapons and tools are modeled in 3D and sit in the modern or science-fiction style rather than the medieval one, and a handful of them are double weapons that are held and swung differently from single-handed items.
Each weapon has a custom moveset that works through Better Combat, so attacks feel distinct from one another instead of reusing the same swing as a diamond sword. The author also balanced the content for fights against stronger mobs, and notes that it can be paired with an infection mod. Players who prefer firearms can add the TACZ gun mod alongside it, with the MS-MOBIUS Gunpack as a common companion.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code published. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge build is 0.9.6, released on 2026-04-17. It runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Key features
3D modeled weapons
Weapons and tools are built as 3D models in a modern, near-future and cyberpunk style, not reskinned vanilla items.
Custom movesets
Each weapon has its own attack pattern, so combat differs from one item to the next rather than repeating a single swing.
Double weapons
A handful of items are double weapons, adding two-handed options to the modern arsenal.
Better Combat support
Movesets are paired with the Better Combat mod, which drives the custom attacks.

How it compares
Weapons of Dream is a Forge 1.20.1 mod that is client and server and under All rights reserved, so its code is not open source. Cyberpunk Armor is also Forge 1.20.1, client and server, under All rights reserved, and focuses on armor rather than weapons. Epic Fight: Tinkers Integration is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, a wider range than this mod's single version.
