TechGuns Mod

Overview

TechGuns is a massive firearm and survival expansion mod that transforms Minecraft into a tactical combat experience. It adds over 50 realistic guns, 20 unique armor sets, 10 new ores, and dangerous structures to explore—all while staying compatible with vanilla crafting.

Features

  • 50+ Unique Weapons - Pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, LMGs, and special weapons like rocket launchers and laser rifles
  • 20 Armor Sets - From basic scrap armor to high-tech exoskeletons with special abilities (night vision, speed, strength, invisibility)
  • 10 New Ores - Copper Alloy, Tungsten, Titanium, Sulfur Crystal, Refined Quartz, Carbon Shard, Hardened Iron, Explosive Stone, Energy Core, and Ancient Scrap
  • Cargo Loot System - Random airdrops fall from the sky every hour with valuable gear
  • Oil Platform Structure - A massive ocean structure filled with hostile mobs and elite loot
  • Realistic Gun Mechanics - Damage, recoil, reload times, fire rates, and ammo types for every weapon
  • Particle Effects - Muzzle flashes and bullet trails for immersive combat

How to Use

Getting Started

  1. Find Ores - Explore caves and the Nether to find new ores for crafting
  2. Craft Ammo - Use iron nuggets and gunpowder to make pistol/rifle ammo at a crafting table
  3. Make Your First Gun - Craft a simple pistol using iron, a trigger mechanism, gun stock, and wood planks
  4. Shoot - Right-click to fire (ammo must be in your inventory)

Key Bindings

  • R - Reload your weapon
  • Right Click - Aim down sights
  • V - Change fire mode (on supported weapons)

Commands

  • /techguns airdrop - Spawn a cargo airdrop (admin only)
  • /techguns info - View mod statistics
  • /tg - Quick mod info

Armor Abilities

Wear a full armor set to gain special bonuses:

  • Tactical Armor - Speed boost
  • Spec Ops Armor - Speed II + Night Vision
  • Exoskeleton Armor - Jump Boost III + Resistance III
  • Stealth Armor - Invisibility
  • Juggernaut Armor - Resistance III (but slower movement)

Finding Loot

  • Cargo Crates - Randomly fall from the sky with guns, ammo, and materials
  • Oil Platforms - Massive ocean structures with elite enemies and legendary loot
  • Military Crates - Found in structures, contain mid-tier gear

Tips & Tricks

  • Always carry multiple ammo types - different guns use different ammo
  • Higher-tier guns need rare ores like Titanium and Tungsten
  • Armor set bonuses only work when wearing the complete set
  • Sniper rifles deal massive damage but have slow fire rates
  • Shotguns are devastating up close but ineffective at range
  • The Oil Platform is extremely dangerous - bring friends and good gear!

Known Limitations

  • 3D gun models are simplified for vanilla compatibility
  • Some advanced animations use particle effects instead of complex models
  • Oil Platform generation is basic due to structure API constraints
  • Network synchronization for multiplayer is simplified
