🛠️ Techguns — Unofficial Port for 1.20.1

Welcome to the unofficial port of the legendary Techguns mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge)!

Get ready to turn your world into a tech-heavy warzone. From conventional firearms to futuristic energy weapons, power armors, machines, defense turrets and world-generated military structures guarded by fully armed NPCs — the complete Techguns experience is back on modern Minecraft.

This is not a "guns only" remake: the goal of this port is to bring back the whole mod, faithfully, with its original mechanics, stats, models and effects.

⚙️ Technical Information

• Minecraft version: 1.20.1
• Mod loader: Forge (47.x)
• Required on: client and server
• Optional: JEI, Patchouli
• Configuration: config/techguns-common.toml and techguns-client.toml (radiation, NPC spawns, structures, ore generation, machine power, effects quality…)

🎨 Shaders & Performance

• Shaders: works with Oculus + Embeddium: projectiles, beams, muzzle flashes and particles are visible with shader packs. OptiFine is not tested.
• Performance: gun, armor and machine models and particles have been optimized for modern Minecraft (much faster inventories and JEI full of guns, lighter firefights).
• Low-end PCs: lower EffectsQuality in techguns-client.toml (0.0 to 1.0) to reduce the amount of particles, and disable EnableGoreDeathEffect if needed.

🐞 Known Issues

• With the Bliss shader pack, effects look pixelated.
• Muzzle light pulses do not light up the surroundings (no dynamic lights in 1.20.1).
• Features that were disabled in the original mod (cities, camp flag) are not included.
• Integrations with other mods from the original (Thermal, FTB teams, CraftTweaker…) are not included.
