How to get and use gun mods for Minecraft Java

Since Minecraft has been out for a really long time and has a very active player base, the community has created a ton of mods for it. Using mods is a great way to try new things and enjoy the survival gamemode in a different way.

The game requires players to fight hostile mobs from time to time, and they can use a variety of weapons to do so. However, vanilla Minecraft only has traditional weapons, such as swords and axes.

With the help of mods, players can add functional guns to Minecraft to make slaying mobs more fun. One of the best weapon mods available for Java Edition is MrCrayfish's gun mod, which can be played on version 1.19.2 and a few older versions.

Adding guns in Minecraft using MrCrayfish's gun mod

The mod adds a handful of weapons, such as bazookas and shotguns. To install MrCrayfish's gun mod, Java Edition players need to follow these steps:

According to the website, those using version 1.16 or below will need to have the Obfuscate library installed, and those using version 1.18 or above will need the Framework library.

Features of MrCrayfish's gun mod

MrCrayfish's gun mod has nine weapons, including a pistol, shotgun, and minigun. This mod offers not only guns but a few attachments to go with those weapons. Players can put a silencer on their weapon to make it quieter or add a grip to reduce the recoil.

To get started, you will need to craft a workbench on the crafting table. Once you have a workbench, you can craft weapons, attachments, and ammunition on it. Iron ingots are one of this mod's primary crafting ingredients for weapons and other items.

The mod also has a few enchantments for the weapon that can help improve the guns. There is a custom shelf on top of which you can place a backpack. As you may have guessed, the backpack is a storage block with nine slots that works similarly to chests.

Survival players can also reload guns in this mod, and there is a reload animation as well. However, they can only reload if there is ammunition in their inventory.
