Techguns Light

Techguns Light

An unofficial Techguns recreation for Minecraft 1.20.1 — Forge.

Techguns Light is an independently developed project focused on adapting the gameplay and systems of the original Techguns for Minecraft 1.20.1. It also includes additional integration and customization features, outlined separately below.

This is not the original Techguns mod, an official update, or an official continuation.

Development Status & Scope

Techguns Light is under active development and still has incomplete areas. It should not be treated as a complete, identical 1:1 replacement for the original mod. Feature coverage and behavior can differ, and bugs or compatibility issues may occur.

The mod is tested during development, but those tests cannot cover every configuration, mod combination, or gameplay scenario. User feedback helps identify problems that do not appear during development testing.

The current priorities are fixing issues, improving compatibility, and refining existing functionality before expanding the content roster. This project primarily adapts the existing Techguns experience; it is not an expansion pack promising a new collection of guns, armor, or enemies.

Further updates are planned as development time allows. There is no fixed release schedule.

Content & Systems

Weapons & Combat

The weapon selection includes pistols, revolvers, shotguns, assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and miniguns, alongside lasers, plasma weapons, Tesla guns, rocket launchers, and nuclear weapons.

Combat systems include ballistics, recoil, armor penetration, damage falloff, and dual-wielding support.

Armor & Equipment

Equipment ranges from basic combat armor to futuristic power armor, with jetpacks, gliders, anti-gravity packs, and powered exosuits.

Supporting systems include extra equipment slots, ammunition storage, automatic feeding, radiation protection, specialized damage resistance, and equipment HUDs.

Machines & Power

Machines include the Metal Press, Ammo Press, Blast Furnace, Chemical Laboratory, Combustion Generator, and Plasma Reactor.

Industrial systems include multiblock factories, nuclear processing, automated ore drilling, and Forge Energy support for machines and power generation.

Enemies & Exploration

Enemies include armed zombies, skeleton soldiers, bandits, military units, Super Mutants, Cyberdemons, aliens, bosses, and attack helicopters.

World content includes military bases, abandoned facilities, and dungeons, with enemy difficulty increasing as you travel farther from spawn.

Other Systems

The mod also includes radiation mechanics, advanced death effects, and dynamic lighting support.

Additional Integration & Customization Features

These additions focus on NPC integration and player customization—not a new lineup of weapons or armor:

• CustomNPCs integration: Configurable support for NPCs using Techguns weapons.
• Customizable, shareable crosshairs: Customize your crosshair and import configurations using shared crosshair codes.
• Per-category sound controls: Adjust supported sound categories individually through an in-game settings panel.

Use /techguns sound to access the sound settings and /techguns crosshair set <code> to import a shared crosshair configuration.

Other Mod Integrations

Integration support includes JEI, CraftTweaker, CC: Tweaked, and Patchouli.

Compatibility can depend on the versions and configurations of the mods involved. Integration support does not guarantee compatibility with every modpack or setup.

Bug Reports & Feedback

Reports of broken features, missing functionality, and compatibility problems are welcome.

When reporting an issue, please include your Techguns Light, Minecraft, and Forge versions, what happened, what you expected to happen, and steps to reproduce the problem. Include relevant logs or a crash report when available.

For compatibility or integration issues, also include the names and versions of the other mods involved.
