Description

* Features Minecraft-style voxel blood effects, but includes intense pain and screaming audio. Player discretion is advised.

Are you interested in the Napoleonic era?

This project is a fan-made addon heavily inspired by Roblox's Guts & Blackpowder. While it does not include zombies, the core gameplay mechanics—such as historical uniforms, military music systems, and hardcore medical systems—have been meticulously implemented based on Guts & Blackpowder.

We prioritize updating and refining our uniform designs based on any future design changes or updates from the original game (G&B). While maintaining our purpose as a dedicated fan project, our ultimate goal is to perfectly recreate all major nations of the Napoleonic Wars in Minecraft.

!! "Please note that this addon is still a work in progress!" !! We will soon be adding unique muskets for each nation, and Austria is also currently unfinished. Hopefully, Congreve rockets and mortars will make an appearance someday too!

INTERACTIVE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS & ENSEMBLE SYSTEM

1. Play & Signal Modes Drums and bugles feature a dual-mode system that players can toggle.
⁃ Musical Performance: Plays actual historical marches to boost the morale of the soldiers.
⁃ Tactical Signals: Uses audio signals to convey specific battlefield commands, such as rallying or spotting enemies.

2. Rhythm-Based Buffs Musicians can turn the tide of battle by granting specific status effects to the team.
⁃ Drum: Correctly hitting the rhythm three times grants nearby teammates a Strength boost and a slight increase in Movement Speed.
⁃ Fife: Playing accurately grants nearby teammates Efficiency.
⁃ Bugle: Does not require matching a rhythm. Instead, holding the performance grants nearby teammates a slight Knockback Resistance and Resistance.

3. Harmony System
Some complex historical pieces (e.g., Rule, Britannia!) feature polyphonic harmonies consisting of 2-3 separate tracks. When playing near a fife player, the system automatically synchronizes the harmony tracks to play simultaneously.

Please note that the following video was recorded using an older version of the addon, so it may differ slightly from the current version.

4. Advanced Ensemble Synchronization
For a perfect orchestral performance on the battlefield, the ensemble system plays audio tracks at precise 2-second intervals to achieve flawless synchronization. Activating an instrument near a lead player will automatically sync the performance to the lead player's track. This feature can be toggled on or off in the settings menu.

Please note that the following video was recorded using an older version of the addon, so it may differ slightly from the current version.

5. Dynamic Animations
The visuals sync perfectly with the audio. For example, drummers feature custom animations showing them beating the drum in perfect synchronization with the track being played.

 

REALISTIC INJURY & MEDICAL SYSTEM

1. Dynamic Bleeding System Players will experience varying levels of bleeding depending on the type of weapon they are hit with. Bleeding can stack to become more severe if ignored, but it can be managed. ⁃ Bleeding Levels: Categorized into Minor, Moderate, and Severe bleeding based on weapon impact. ⁃ Recovery: Using a Bandage will stop the bleeding instantly, or it will stop automatically over time if left untreated.



2. Fractures (Severe Trauma)
A critical condition that requires immediate medical attention. When a player suffers a Fracture, the system instantly triggers Severe Bleeding. Failing to get swift treatment from a medic will eventually lead to death.


3. Light Fall Damage (Stun Effect)
Taking light fall damage does not just consume health; it plays a custom animation to increase immersion. While this animation plays, players are briefly stunned, disabling regular movement and actions.


4. Medical Treatment (Teammate Support)
Directly inspired by the medical system in Guts & Blackpowder, players can actively support and heal their teammates on the field.
⁃ Healing Actions: Simply holding a medical item (such as a Bandage) and Right-Clicking a wounded teammate will consume the item and restore their health.
