My first ever Minecraft mod which adds two new items into the game, the Arquebus and Bullet. This mod is primarily made as an experiment/for personal use.
The Arquebus is a powerful alternative for the Bow and Crossbow, it has significantly less uses at just 32, but is capable of killing mobs with a single shot. It is also inaccurate at long distances. Recipes are unlocked after acquiring gunpowder.
Localised languages: English Finnish
Mod namespace: "handcannon"
Known issues: Bullets that are fired from a Dispenser use arrow sounds.
