A mod about clunky old-school guns, featuring matchlocks, flintlocks, wheellocks and revolvers.

 

There are muskets, pistols, revolvers, rifles and blunderbusses of all kinds.

 

Note that the 1.16.2 version is a complete rework of the mod, so many features are missing from or are exclusive to the 1.16 versions! Also, many recipes and mechanics vary between the two versions.

 

To load a gun in the new 1.16 version, first hold right click with at least 1 or 2 gunpowder in your offhand (1 for pistols and repeating guns, 2 for muskets and such), and then hold right click with a bullet (Note that the repeating guns can only use regular roundshots)

Alternatively, you can use the appropriate paper cartridge (Small for guns that use 1 gunpowder, regular for the ones that use 2) to speed up the loading process.

After loading with a shot or cartridge, most guns require the use of a ramrod. Have the ramrod in your offhand and hold right click with the gun until complete.

 

Some guns still require special actions to fire:

-To fire a matchlock, first ignite it with a flint and steel in your offhand, then fire it with an empty offhand (Note that the ignited gun can go out at random or when in rain or water)

-To fire a wheellock, wind it by holding sneak and right click until the noises stop.

 

There are also four cannons (1.12 only!):

-Light Field Cannon

-Heavy Siege Cannon

-Volley Cannon

-Puckle Gun

 

Full gun list & recipes (Slightly outdated)
