Requirements Minecraft 1.21.11 (internal version 26.1.2) Minecraft Forge 64.0.4 or higher Java 25 (Mojang bundles this with the vanilla launcher; custom launchers need a JDK 25 install) Installation Install Forge 64.0.4+ for Minecraft 1.21.11. Drop infernoguns-1.0.0.jar into your mods/ folder. Launch the game. Server install is identical — same jar, same mods/ folder. Required on both sides.

Compatibility Works with vanilla Minecraft and any resource pack. No mixins, no coremods, no access transformers — pure Forge events and registries. No conflicts expected with mods that don't modify the item registry or player damage sources. Known limitations Bullets are a single universal type — there are no specialty rounds (incendiary, explosive, etc.). All gun abilities live on the gun, not the bullet. Guns are item-based, not entity-based — bullets are hitscan and do not create projectile entities, so they cannot be deflected, caught, or dispensed. No reloading mechanic. Durability and ammo are tracked separately. License All rights reserved by the author. You may use this mod in modpacks and on servers. Redistribution of the jar outside Modrinth/CurseForge requires permission.
