Colonial Arms [Fabric]

Colonial Arms 2.16.0 - Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric)

First release for 1.20.1, and it arrives complete: the same mod the 26.2 and 1.21.1
files carry.

The arms
  - FLINTLOCK MUSKET. Loaded from a paper cartridge through a full drill you can
    watch: the cartridge comes off your belt to the muzzle, the ramrod is drawn and
    worked in the bore, and the piece comes up to be cocked before it will fire.
  - FLINTLOCK PISTOL. One-handed, quick to bring up, same drill in miniature. Works
    in either hand.
  - BLUNDERBUSS. A short shoulder arm throwing a spreading load of shot instead of a
    single ball - devastating close in, useless at range.
  - Hold right-click to aim and the view steadies and pulls in: a real sight picture
    on the musket, less on the blunderbuss, and only an arm's-length steadying on
    the pistol.
  - Each one kicks when it fires, in your own hands and in third person, so you can
    see another player's shot land in their shoulder.

The cannons
  - FIELD CANNON on a wheeled carriage, and a NAVAL CANNON on a truck carriage for a
    ship's deck or a fort wall.
  - A CREW LOADING DRILL. Right-click the muzzle with a Powder Charge and it slides
    into the mouth and waits; someone drives it home with the RAMMER; then the
    cannonball the same way; then touch the vent with a lit LINSTOCK. Every stage is
    visible in the bore, and a friend can work the rammer while you lay the gun.
  - New items: Powder Charge, Rammer, Linstock, Cannonball.
  - RECOIL. The gun rolls back when it fires. Set the trail shoe against a block and
    the shoe takes the blow: the gun rebounds and settles back on its firing spot, so
    a prepared position keeps its aim.
  - THE LIMBER. Use a lead on a field gun while riding or leading a horse and the gun
    limbers up - the trail lifts onto the limber, the muzzle swings to the rear, and
    the gun follows like a trailer. Sneak-use, or another lead, unhitches it and gives
    the lead back. A naval gun has no limber; it is not drawn.
  - A gunner stands at the gun rather than appearing to sit in the air beside it.

Smoke and fire
  - Firing smoke leaves the MUZZLE and jets downrange, on all five weapons.
  - The pan flash at the lock throws sparks on the three flintlocks.
  - A flash at the cannon's mouth on firing.

Requirements
  - Minecraft 1.20.1
  - Fabric Loader 0.15.0 or newer
  - Fabric API
  - Java 17

Notes
  - Same feature set as the 26.2 and 1.21.1 files. Deliberate differences are limited
    to things the three Minecraft versions do not share.
  - Damage, spread and reload times are still a first pass and will be revisited.
