Mechanics
RMB loads and fires guns. Full sized ones can't be used from offhand.
All guns are unusable inside water and bullets lose power when flying through it.
Bullets can ignite TNT and destroy some blocks (only non-stained glass panes by default).
Headshots increase bullet damage by 30% (applies to most bipedal mobs).

Paper cartridge (ammunition)

Dispensers can fire them dealing 10 damage.
Monsters
Pillagers and skeletons (all kinds) can use guns. They also may spawn with one (20% for pillagers with a pistol, 5% for skeletons with a musket).
Monsters deal 50% damage with guns by default.
Configuration
Settings can be accessed from NeoForge's mods menu or via Mod Menu on Fabric.
Bullet spread follows normal distribution like in real life but it is awkward to configure. Here is a simple table that could help with that: bulletStdDev
Loot tables in namespace musketmod add items to matching vanilla loot tables. pillager_weapon and skeleton_weapon control what gun corresponding monster will get.
item/enchantable/* tags control what enchantments can be added to the guns.
block/*_by_bullets tags control which blocks would be destroyed or dropped by bullets.
entity_type/headshotable tag controls which mobs are considered for headshot detection.
3D Modeling
Mod provides following model predicates:
- "loaded" - hammer is cocked
- "loading" - matches loading animation in 3rd person
- "aiming" - matches crossbow hold pose in 3rd person
Example: musket.json
Mod's blockbench models can be found here.
Permissions
You may include this mod in any modpack, private or public, along with any modifications.
