20 Best Minecraft Weapon and Gun Mods

Minecraft is known for its innovative builds, farms, and mods among the gaming community. But when it comes to weapons, the vanilla game barely includes what players truly crave. That’s where the community has stepped in to transform the game into a full combat sandbox, including futuristic guns, rockets, and even some apocalyptic tech. All of them are free to download and help you survive or explore the various structures in ways never intended. So, check this list of the best Minecraft weapon and gun mods that you need to try out right now.

1. Timeless and Classics Zero (TaCZ)

If you’re looking for one of the most immersive first-person shooter experiences in Minecraft, TaCZ mod is a must-try option. This one introduces fluid shooting mechanics with stunning animations and a huge weapon customization system.

Here, every gun features a unique reload option, making each weapon look and feel different. You can also use some exclusive workbenches to build the firearms and attachments without affecting the usual progression system in the game. The installation is easy, flexible, and delivers a polished experience in Minecraft. All you need is to install Forge in Minecraft and then get this mod straight away.

2. MrCrayfish’s Gun Mod

MrCrayfish’s Gun is one of the most popular Minecraft weapons and gun mods of all time. It adds nine weapons to the game, ranging from pistols to a bazooka. After collecting the guns, you can upgrade them by adding attachments like grips, silencers, etc. Then, as if it wasn’t enough, you also get the ability to enchant these custom weapons to make them even more powerful.

3. Minecraft Dungeons Weapons Mod

Developed by Mojang, Minecraft Dungeons is a sister game under the same umbrella as Minecraft. Both of them feature similar aesthetics but contrastingly unique gameplay. One thing that is truly remarkable in the MC Dungeons is its collection of powerful weapons. Vanilla Minecraft has nothing to compete with.

That’s where this mod steps into the picture. The MC Dungeons Weapons mod ports most of Minecraft Dungeons’ weapons to the main Minecraft game. The weapons have the same functionality and style as their counterparts. Moreover, since both games have the same base worlds, these weapons fit perfectly with the vanilla world.

4. Modular Powersuits

Getting new guns in Minecraft definitely sounds fun and exciting. But what’s even more remarkable is the ability to become one. That’s what this Minecraft guns mod does. It brings you an Iron-Man-like suit that has a variety of high-powered abilities.

You can then fly, shoot power bullets, and easily tackle all the retro Minecraft hostile mobs. Getting started with this mod requires you to have a Tinker Table, the core workstation. Then you can create major infrastructures, customize your powersuit, helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots and more.

5. Weapon Throw

Leaving the bows aside, most weapons in Minecraft rely on direct combat. You need to be next to mobs to make the most out of the existing weapons in the game. Fortunately, this Minecraft gun mod eliminates that basic requirement by allowing you to throw swords and axes.

You can even add special enchantments to the throwables to give them special abilities and deal more serious damage to the enemies. Meanwhile, if you miss the target and hit a block, your weapon will get stuck. However, you don’t have to worry, as there is also an enchantment to recall the thrown weapon back to you in this mod. It is similar to the existing loyalty enchantment for tridents in Minecraft.

6. Portal Gun

2007’s Portal video game is one of the most iconic titles in the gaming industry, and that’s mostly due to its iconic portal gun. It allows you to create two portals that wirelessly connect, which you can then use to travel through.

Thanks to this weapon mod, the portal gun becomes available in Minecraft. You can now go on creating portals and taking teleportation in Minecraft to the next level.

7. Guns Without Roses

Terraria is one of the closest competitors to Minecraft, and it features a variety of environmental weapons. This mod brings some of those guns from Terraria to Minecraft. We get five types of guns, 4 types of bullets, and 4 new enchantments.

Overall, the mod is quite simple and doesn’t venture too far from the vanilla experience, making it fit well with most existing custom Minecraft maps.

8. Gravity Gun

If you have played Half-Life 2, you must be familiar with the amazing gravity gun featured in the game. The gun manipulates its target’s gravity and sends them flying in the air. Now, you can use this weapon in Minecraft with this gravity gun mod. Unfortunately, this mod is only compatible with Minecraft version 1.12.2, so you will need to downgrade your game to use it.

9. Guns, Rockets, and Atomic Explosions

As the name reveals, this Minecraft gun mod is all about destruction. It gives you access to powerful guns, rocket launches, and a variety of explosions to destroy your Minecraft world. The range of weapons in this mod is truly impressive. However, they might feel a little out of place in your world because of their detailed design and non-blocky style.

10. Apex Guns

It’s time for competitive players to rejoice because this mod brings the best guns from Apex Legends to the world of Minecraft. You get R-301 Carbine, 30-30 Repeater, M600 Spitfire, and even the Kraber. T

he textures of these guns have been modified to fit Minecraft’s style, but their overall tone remains the same. However, this mod only works if you already have the previously mentioned MrCrayfish’s Gun mod installed.

11. APM Gear from Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan is a name that every anime fan is aware of. This iconic series has countless unique elements to offer, and one of them is the anti-personnel maneuvering gear. The characters used this unique equipment to vertically climb structures, swing between them, and move at a very high speed to take down titans.

And now, thanks to this weapon mod, it is possible to do all that in Minecraft. But if you are not a fan of the movement, this mod also features a ton of weapons from the anime as well.

12. YDM’s Gunblades

As per the modder, this mod gives you a personal “set of mass destruction”, and from the looks of it, they are not wrong. You get four types of gun blades, each of which can be loaded with 6 unique types of ammo with powerful abilities.

Once you craft all the equipment in this mod, none of the hostile mobs will be safe around you. The ammo types you can find here include Thunder, Fire, Poison, Explosion, and the standard ones. Crafting them is straightforward, and the progression goes from emerald, diamond, and Netherite. Whether you’re clearing caves or dungeons, taking down hostile mobs with this mod can make you feel like a futuristic hunter.

13. Fusion Warfare

Most weapon and gun mods in Minecraft feature deadly but somewhat limited weapons. They are enough to kill a couple of mobs, but can be overpowered by large swarms of creepers or zombies. If you want true ultimate power, this Minecraft weapons and guns mod has been made for you.

This Minecraft mod adds missiles, guns, and several other deadly fusion-powered tools to the game. Along with its destructive side, Fusion Warfare also brings a variety of new power sources, including solar panels, fusion reactors, and more in tow.

14. Soggy’s Guns

Most Minecraft weapons and gun mods either port guns from existing games or create copies of real-world weapons. But the Soggy’s Guns mod truly stands out by bringing entirely unique guns to Minecraft. You get Arrowinator, snowball staff, egg gun, ultimate potion, and a bunch of new projectiles.

15. Halo & MDE Guns

This is a special kind of weapons mod, which brings a bunch of new building blocks to the game, along with the usual weaponry. In terms of environment blocks, you get dozens of stylish new blocks, four types of trees, new fluid, and even three new types of portals in Minecraft. As for the weaponry, this mod adds various weapons and armor inspired by the Halo video game series.

Due to the enormous variety of armor sets and weapons, you can easily invite friends to a Minecraft server and play a Halo match within Minecraft. However, the new set of blocks is a better fit for a custom Minecraft map rather than a server.

16. Sword Displays

This Minecraft mod is simple in theory and valuable in execution. As the name reveals, it gives you a new block to display your sword collection. At the moment, this mod doesn’t allow you to put your guns on this block. But you can at least present your melee weapons out in style.

17. War Hammers

Thanks to Marvel’s Thor, hammers are back in style. They are the perfect weapon to smash and kill enemies while looking like a boss. The best part is that these hammers in Minecraft fit right in with the existing default weapons. Moreover, you get to make its variants with all mineral Minecraft ores based on a modified version of built-in tool crafting recipes.

As for usage, the war hammer is perfect for action and is also very reliable for quickly mining blocks. It might be the only tool you have to make to freely explore the overworld. Though, make sure to learn how to find Netherite in Minecraft to get the most powerful type of war hammer.

18. Hbm’s Nuclear Tech Mod

When we are adding new weapons to Minecraft, there is no point in putting a limit to their power, right? At least, that’s what this Minecraft gun mod believes in. It gives you a complete arsenal of highly destructive weapons, including bombs, missiles, and explosive guns. You can use them to flat mountains, clear areas, and completely annihilate structures.

In case you are not sure about destroying default structures, this gun mod also comes with a bunch of abandoned structures to test out all these powerful weapons on. However, bidding them against the scary ancient cities of Minecraft won’t be the worst idea.

19. Decimation 

Without a doubt, video games with zombie game modes know how to make the most out of every weapon. Luckily, this Minecraft gun mod allows you to do the same. The Decimation mod adds a bunch of realistic zombies to Minecraft, along with a range of destructive weapons to blow out their brains. While most other mods on our list upgrade the vanilla experience, this mod gives you a whole new game within Minecraft.

Leaving the weapons aside, this mod also features explorable locations and 100s of props for a realistic apocalypse experience. Everything from a zombie movie, from antidotes to defensive safe houses, becomes available in the game with this mod. However, hordes of zombies can get pretty overwhelming, so we suggest trying this mod of a Java Minecraft server with your friends.

20. Craft Theft Auto

When it comes to open-world games, only the Grand Theft Auto series comes close to the level of creative freedom that Minecraft provides. With GTA 6 releasing soon, there’s no better way to celebrate both of these games than by bringing GTA’s features to Minecraft. The Craft Theft Auto mod brings customizable cars, a huge city, and a bunch of weapons from GTA to Minecraft.

Some of the most unique features in this mod are riot shields, tech guns, and rocket launchers. Not to forget, no GTA mod can be finished without interactive NPCs. So, while you roam your upgraded Minecraft world, you’re bound to come across a variety of interactive citizens. But whether you make friends or enemies out of them is totally up to you.
