Inferno, Guns from Hell A Forge weapons mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that adds 22 hitscan firearms and a universal bullet item. Every recipe uses vanilla materials only — no custom ores, no custom dimensions, no boss fights. The mod adds items to the existing game without changing any vanilla mechanics, world generation, or entities.

Features 22 guns spread across three crafting tiers plus one endgame weapon Universal bullet ammo — every gun consumes one bullet per shot from any slot in your inventory 10 modular abilities — fire, explosive, wither, poison, slow, mark, knockback, piercing, soul drain, void teleport Hitscan firing — instant raycast, no projectile entity, no client-server desync Per-gun tuning — each weapon has its own damage, spread, range, fire delay, durability, and ability list Survival progression — recipes scale from iron + gunpowder up to netherite + nether star + dragon head Creative mode bypasses ammo requirements automatically No new blocks, mobs, dimensions, or biomes added Ammo Recipe Output 1 Gunpowder + 1 Iron Nugget (shapeless) 8 Bullets Bullets stack to 64. Universal across every gun. Out-of-ammo plays an empty-click sound and prevents firing.

All ingredients are vanilla Minecraft items.

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.
