Totally Balanced Musket

by Archived Potatoes

Totally Balanced Musket adds a musket weapon to Fabric and Quilt, loaded and fired through the use and offhand controls.

FabricQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.4

What it does

The musket is loaded in steps: holding gunpowder in the offhand while holding use loads powder into the gun, and holding a ramrod in the offhand compresses it. A musket ball is loaded with the right click while holding it in the offhand, and a right click then fires the weapon. The mod's own description calls the musket overpowered and says reloading takes around 15 seconds, so players are expected to wait between shots.

The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, with the latest file, 1.2.0, targeting 1.20.4 and dated 2024-01-27. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Fabric API is required on Fabric and Quilt alike, and the author asks players to report multiplayer problems in the issue tracker.
