6. Afterwords
I hope you can enjoy this little mod. If you get any error messages, please post it in the thread. If you see any spelling mistakes, I am grateful for your notification. I am also open for any suggestions or constructive criticism to improve the mod or my programming skills. If you prefer the Minecraft Forum, you can find my mod there too.
I like muskets, a reason why I installed Balkon's WeaponMod. Unfortunately, this leads to a lack of gunpowder, if you use the musket excessively like me. So I decided, it's time to develop a mod.
If you prefer to contact me on Twitter, just do it.
