Simple Musket - Firearms for Minecraft

This mod introduces a musket, an historic firearm weapon with realistic mechanics. To load, hold right-click with an unloaded musket, which automatically takes ammunition from the inventory similarly to a crossbow. Once loaded, hold right-click to aim and release to fire.

Ammunition and Their Features

Three types of specialized cartridges are included:

• Standard cartridges: 16 damage + 10% armor piercing
• Hellfire cartridges: 25% more damage than standard + 25% armor reduction on target for 30 seconds - loot from bastions or piglin trades
• Enchanted cartridges: 25% more velocity than standard + boosted musket enchantment effects

All cartridges work with dispensers. Cartridges are deflected by wind and iron golems resist 75% damage.

Enchantment System

Muskets support several exclusive enchantments:

• Firepower (I-V): 10% armor piercing/level (+10% with enchanted cartridges)
• Longshot (I-II): Bonus damage vs distant targets (15-60% at 16-48 blocks, more at level 2)
• Repeating: +1 shot/reload (extra after kills, doubled with enchanted cartridges)

Each enchantment is mutually exclusive with others.

New Enemies

Gunslinger illagers spawn near outposts and raid waves at evoker frequency. These expert shooters attack from 24 blocks away with no friendly fire, but retreats when approached while armed for self-defense.

• Consecration: Enchanted cartridges remove undead protection and smite/bane of arthropods boost enchanted cartridge effects
• Enchantment descriptions: Game tooltip displays for musket enchantments
