Flintlock Weapons Mod 1.6.4
Features:
- Four new flintlock weapons
- Two ammo types
- Unique reloading system
- Fitting and balanced with the game, not ridiculously OP like most gun mods
- Taking suggestions from the community and actively looking to improve and update the mod
- Easy, quick installation (only ModLoader required)
This mod adds four new weapons: Pistol, Double-Barreled Pistol, Musket, and Revolver. The Pistol fires a bullet, a one hit kill on any mob, and must be reloaded after each shot. It also isn’t too accurate. The double-barreled pistol and revolver do the same, but can hold two and six shots at a time, respectively. The musket fires one shot at a time, but is extremely accurate while requiring twice the gunpowder to load. It also has a bayonet, allowing it to do damage equivalent to an iron sword while melee attacking.
Loading these flintlock weapons in real life is quite cumbersome, and this mod replicates that. To load a weapon, you must craft together an unloaded one, gunpowder, and your ammo. The multi-shot weapons can do this multiple times to become fully loaded.
There are also two different ammo types: round shot and buckshot. Round shot can be loaded into any weapon, and fires a single, damaging bullet. Buckshot can only be loaded into the pistol and double-barreled pistol, and fires a spray of bullets that can damage multiple enemies.
A bit about the damage:
Pistols, Muskets, and Double-barreled pistols are a guaranteed one-hit kill on any regular mob (excluding the ender dragon and wither). As I don’t fully understand the projectile damage calculations in minecraft, I just threw random numbers in until it was balanced the way I wanted it. So I can’t exactly tell you how many hearts of damage a shot does, but it is at least 20, as that’s how many hearts a zombie has, and they can be killed in one hit. With the revolver and any gun firing buckshot, however, the shot may not be a one hit kill. Specifically, a bullet has a 1 in 4 chance of not being a one-hit kill. This was due to the revolver and buckshot being a tad OP.

Makeshift Pistol
|
Jury-rigged pistol made from cheap materials. Short range and won’t last very long. You can only have one of these in your hotbar at a time; if you shoot one, any other loaded makeshift pistols in your hotbar will be moved to your inventory. Crafting

|
|
Pistol
|
Basic flintlock pistol. Holds only one shot, but has decent range and is the most durable and reliable. Crafting
Loading
(can use buckshot also for spread pattern) |
|
Double-Barreled Pistol
|
Quite self-explanatory. More complicated design means less durability and higher chance of misfire. Crafting
Loading Same as pistol, but can hold two shots |
|
Duckfoot Pistol
|
One of the strangest weapons in history, it has four barrels flared in different directions to hit multiple targets. Load with 1-4 round shot, and it will shoot all of them at once in a spread pattern. Note that none of the barrels point straight forward, so you won’t hit what your crosshairs are over. Crafting

|
Blunderbuss
|
The most effective spread pattern weapon. Shoots buckshoot with a better spread and range than a pistol, but takes twice the gunpowder. One pellet is guarnteed to travel exactly where you’re aiming. Crafting

|
|
Revolver
|
Most expensive and arguably most powerful weapon other than the puckle gun. Holds six shots, but must be repaired often and has a high chance of misfire. Slightly less range and power than the pistol as well. Crafting
Loading Same as pistol, but holds six shots. Cannot shoot buckshot. |
|
Musket
|
Long-range but gunpowder-hungry weapon. Bayonet does damage equivalent to an iron sword when melee attacking and does 1/10 of the damage to the gun as firing a shot. Crafting

|
|
Buffalo Gun
|
Even longer range than the musket, but takes more gunpowder (and no bayonet). Two-step loading. Crafting
Loading
Prime unloaded gun with a paper wad Then…

|
Puckle Gun
|
Another odd weapon, but a very powerful one. Holds 11 shots in a revolving barrel. Slightly better range than the musket, but must be standing in a puckle gun mount in order to shoot it. This is an iron block that you stand on with four iron blocks on each side and a block up around you. See the picture in the screenshots sections if that confused you Crafting

Hand Cannon
|
Definitely the most fun weapon to use. Shoots a cannonball which explodes on impact. Takes two steps to reload and can be loaded with a half or full load of gunpowder depending on the range you want. Cannot be inlaid. Crafting
Loading First…
Prime unloaded gun with a paper wad Then…
Load a cannonball into your primed cannon for half load, or
for a full load with almost twice the range. |
|
Cannon
|
Devastating in the right hands. Right clicking on the base opens a GUI in which you can adjust the angle and elevation of the cannon. The top button loads gunpowder into the cannon (max of 6, more powder, more range), the middle ones loads its corresponding ammo, and the bottom button fires the cannon. The bar on the right is a cooldown timer and will be light blue when ready to fire. Can also be fired by giving it a redstone pulse, allowing you to link them together for awesome defenses (of course you still have reload them all manually!). Ammo Types Cannonball – standard explosive round; packs a bigger bang than if fired out of a hand cannon Heatshot – a cannonball wrapped in oil-soaked paper or tarp (or in Minecraft, netherrack) that causes fires around the blast area Grapeshot – Small metal balls bundled together and fired at once; essentially a giant shotgun. Doesn’t do terrain damage but is very effective at taking out groups of targets or moving targets Dummy Round – Intended for target practive in survival mode; very cheap to craft and leaves behing a block where it lands that can be picked up and re-fired Crafting
