Gunforge: Custom Weapons & Gun Crafting

GunCraft v2.0.0

A complete firearms mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 (Forge 61.1.1+)

GunCraft brings 8 unique weapons, 11 attachments, 6 ammo types, throwables, healing items, and a full crafting system to Minecraft. Every item has an in-game recipe browser built into the Gun Crafting Bench.

Getting Started

Everything begins with the Gun Crafting Bench. Craft it at a regular crafting table:
