Description from the author on Modrinth

For Minecraft versions 1.21.4 and above, Modern Guns requires Gun Core, and for versions below 1.21.4, Modern Guns requires Gamingbarn's Guns!

|Modern Guns adds 23 real life guns into Minecraft! All of the guns added are ones you've likely seen before in other games like CoD, Far Cry, or other Minecraft gun mods. These guns have a wide range of different stat combinations to make each one unique in its own way!
---|---
There are three tiers of guns, with each tier of gun having seven specfic types. The seven subtypes are as follows: Pistol, Shotgun, Assault Rifle, SMG, Sniper Rifle, and Grenade Launcher. The color of the gun's name dictates which tier it belongs to. Yellow is tier 1, green is tier 2, and blue is tier 3.||
|All of the recipes for the guns in this pack can be viewed in the recipe book of the vanilla crafting table. To search for guns, you can type "shoot" into the search bar! You can also give youself the guns added by this datapack by running the give function: /function give:[gun_name]

You can make your own pack just like this by using the Gun Generator and Ammo Generator from gamingbarn.net!
