A framework mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 — an attribute-driven, modularly-assembled gun system.
Its goal: a shooting system where numbers are easy to tweak and features are easy to extend.
Gun stats must be bound to vanilla attributes, so player/equipment attribute modifiers affect guns directly.
Just apply a vanilla attribute modifier to a player and their gun gets stronger — or gains traits. Building gun-boosting trinkets and gear becomes trivial.
Most registrations are done through data packs — reload anytime and feel it immediately.
You can crown an existing item (vanilla, or from another mod) as one of our plugins or guns. It only tacks on gun/plugin functionality — the original id and its features (crafting recipes, trinket slots, etc.) stay untouched.
Ever played Apotheosis or Mine & Slash? They both let you socket orbs into gear. We did the same — socket plugins into guns.
The twist: our sockets are typed and infinitely registrable, and a plugin can fit multiple socket types — tag-matching sockets, basically.
We also ship mutual-exclusion groups and priorities.
We shamelessly copied The Binding of Isaac — gun textures and bullets support dynamic tinting, texture layering and other visual effects, stacking from plugins or even trinkets.
We added a ton of hooks and a ton of events.
For common extension patterns, we provide unified interfaces and systems.
E.g. a gun action key, a weighted bullet-variant pool (for random variant fire), and more.
(But no reload system.)
Guns don't support 3D models — if Minecraft were a 2D game, this downside wouldn't exist at all. (Bullets, though, do support 3D models!)
The visuals won't wow everyone; honestly, I only care whether it's fun. Haha.
Q1: Why did you make this mod?
A1: It started as a private mod for Yanbwe's own modpack, but the design turned out interesting enough to release as a framework anyone can use. May every developer stay happy while crafting their number-bloated shooting content.
Q2: Will you support more Minecraft versions, like 1.20.1?
A2: No plans. I'm waiting for the day the latest Minecraft version has a qualitative breakthrough.
Q3: What does the mod's cover art have to do with the mod?
A3: I dreamed it.
Q4: Wait, I'm just a player — does this mod have anything to play with?
A4: There are three items that look gun-related and thirteen items that call themselves plugins — I mean, some sample content. And stay tuned for Yanbwe's upcoming expansion mods.
Q5: I thought this was about shooting guns, but the sample content makes me think this is a weird, quirky mod.
A5: Use your imagination — "shooting" isn't exclusively a gun thing.
