Vanilla Gun Mod
by goldbocman
Vanilla Gun Mod adds four firearms to survival play, each crafted from vanilla materials and balanced to stay close to the vanilla style.
What it does
The four guns take bullet magazines of different sizes: a bullet magazine holding 20, a short magazine holding 6, magnum bullets loaded one at a time into a holder of 6, and shells loaded one at a time into a holder of 8. The shotgun-style gun fires 5 pellets per shot. Full-auto fire trades low damage per shot for volume, while semi-auto fire deals high damage per shot.
Crouching while firing cuts recoil by 50%. The guns support enchantments, and a netherite upgrade for all four is applied at a smithing table. Flame reduces durability. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across the game versions 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.1 and 26.2, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Four crafted firearms

Magazine-based ammunition
Each gun uses a magazine or loading system with its own capacity, from 6 to 20 rounds.
Full-auto and semi-auto fire
One gun fires full-auto with low damage per shot, another fires semi-auto with high damage per shot.
Crouch-fire recoil control
