Aperion's Flintlock Musket

This is an experimental addon. Features, balance, and UI may change or break between updates. Feedback welcome.

One musket. One heavy lead ball. Reload like history — then make the shot count.

Features

• Flintlock musket — craftable survival weapon with 3D hold/fire animations
• Paper cartridges — craft ammo, then hold use to reload (~5s by default)
• High damage ball — default 24 damage; long range, forced straight flight
• Sneak zoom — FOV tightens while sneaking with the musket (no ADS pose)
• Ammo HUD — bottom-left loaded / reserve JsonUI while holding the musket
• No bayonet melee — model has no bayonet; item deals no melee damage
• Settings — /flintlock:settings for enable, damage, reload time, spread, range + Credits QR

How to use

1. Enable Beta APIs, then activate both Behavior Pack and Resource Pack.
2. Craft Flintlock Musket: iron ×3, sticks ×2, flint ×1.
3. Craft Paper Cartridges: paper + gunpowder + iron nugget → 2 cartridges.
4. Hold the musket → hold use to reload (needs a cartridge) → use again to fire.
5. Sneak while holding for zoom. Watch loaded/reserve at the bottom-left.
6. Operators: /flintlock:settings to tune balance or open Credits (scan QR on screen).

Required / Notes

• Status: Experimental — not a finished “1.0 polish” release; expect tweaks and possible bugs
• Minecraft: Bedrock 1.21.130+
• Experiments: Beta APIs required
• Packs: BP + RP both required
• Multiplayer / Realms / BDS: Works when both packs are on for all players
• Achievements: Script add-ons typically disable Xbox achievements
• Conflicts: Uses custom player.json for fire animations — may conflict with other player.json packs
• SFX: Commercial-use freepack / CC0 (see in-pack credits)
• A flintlock pistol was requested and is being added. It is not in the current download. This build is still the musket only.
