Improvised Guns

By JERAA | Addon

Improvised Guns introduces a variety of new firearms to Minecraft Bedrock Edition, fully functional and accessible in survival mode. This add-on enhances combat dynamics with dual wielding capabilities and an innovative damage system, allowing players to experience fast-paced, powerful gunplay.

Dual Wielding

All weapons added by this pack can be equipped in the off-hand, enabling players to wield and fire two guns simultaneously. To use a gun in your off-hand, place it in the secondary hand slot, which normally holds a shield.

Firing either gun works the same as usual: interact with the weapon (right-click, left trigger, or tap and hold on touchscreen) to shoot. You can freely mix and match any two guns for simultaneous shooting.

Actual Damage System (ADS)

This add-on includes a custom Actual Damage System that bypasses Minecraft’s default brief invulnerability ticks after getting hit. This means enemies take full damage from every bullet fired without temporary immunity.

Using two guns at once effectively doubles your damage output. For example, Iron Golems take damage from every bullet without any invincibility period.

Note: You can dual wield any two guns simultaneously, using one in the main hand and one in the off-hand.

Using the Guns

All guns operate similarly and require the corresponding ammo type in your inventory to function. When you fire the gun, it will automatically consume ammo and reload instantly without manual action.

Crafting the Guns

Crafting these firearms and ammo requires the new Firearm Forger crafting station added with this pack.

Place and interact with the Firearm Forger to access its crafting menu, which resembles the villager trading interface. Here you can craft all guns and ammunition, with concise stats displayed for each weapon.

Each crafted item also rewards a small amount of player experience.

Enchanting and Shadow Guns

For additional firepower, this add-on includes Shadow Guns, enhanced variants of all standard firearms that can be enchanted similarly to bows. You can apply any bow enchantment except Infinity.

The Infinity enchantment has been modified: instead of infinite ammo, it now offers a 50% chance per shot to not consume ammo, preserving game balance.

To create a Shadow Gun, combine a normal gun with one Nether Star at a crafting table. Shadow Guns feature increased durability but reduced repair potential with iron ingots.
