DC's Simple Guns

A selection of simple but powerful 2d guns with straightforward mechanics.

This mod adds 37 new firearms and 3 new throwable explosives, all crafted using vanilla resources and divided into three "tiers" of cost and effectiveness. These guns were made with inspiration from older style 2d gun mods used in earlier versions of the game with a focus on simplicity and straightforwardness, and as a sort of spiritual successor to my ancient flan's mod content pack that's been outdated for years. There are too many recipes for me to post here in any reasonable time frame, so JEI/REI/NEI or similar mods are HIGHLY recommended. Most items are crafted using the "Gunsmithing Tools" item to prevent recipe conflicts. Mod is currently ONLY available for Minecraft 1.20.1 with forge. I may update to other versions in the future, but I will most likely not be porting to non-forge modloaders.

 

The following weapons are included:

 

Tier 1-

These weapons are manually loaded through the crafting bench, by placing powder and a ball, or an appropriately sized paper cartridge in the crafting bench alongside the gun. They are powerful and inexpensive, but awkward to reload:

-Pistol

-Pepperbox

-Revolver

--Uses Paper Cartridge [Small] or Loose Roundball and Powder

Tier 2-

These weapons are mostly single shot or manual repeating guns (plus a maxim gun) and can be reloaded with metallic cartridges by pressing the "R" keybind. They are just as powerful as the previous tier of firearms, but much easier to load and often offering higher ammo capacity.
