Looking for a straightforward way to add firearms to your Minecraft world without drowning in complex crafting trees? Yamato Gun Mod by pitan76 delivers exactly that — a compact arsenal of four distinct guns, each with its own damage tier and ammo type, built for players who want reliable long-range combat options. From the close-quarters Sakai Gun to the devastating YG-3, there is a weapon here for every encounter.
Key Features
- Four-gun arsenal with tiered damage — The mod includes the Sakai Gun (20 damage, short-range), YG-1 (8 damage per shot), YG-2 (13 damage per shot), and the hard-hitting YG-3 at 25 damage per shot, giving you options for every combat scenario.
- Custom ammo system — Each gun uses its own dedicated ammo type (Bullet YG-1, YG-2, and YG-3), so inventory management and ammo crafting become part of your combat strategy.
- Dual-action shooting mechanics — Left-click fires normally, while right-click powers up your attack for extra punch when you need it most.
- Quick reload with R key — Press R to reload as long as the matching ammo is in your inventory — no complicated UI menus required.
- Wide version support — Available for Minecraft 1.18.1 through 1.21.11 across Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge loaders.
