I don't know my version or loader
Adds vanilla-esque guns to Minecraft.
Guns have the same material tier progression as other tools.
Guns are crafted with sakuradite and corresponding materials.
Obtained uncommonly by breaking gravel.
Gunshots are powered by sakuradite and thus do not consume bullets.
The tiered damage progression makes ranged combat a viable option at all stages of the game, including the early to mid game.
This allows for full ranged-only playthroughs. In larger modpacks, the guns in this mod are meant to be used in the early game until the player can make stronger enchanted bows with infinity.
