In this segment of the video, the speaker introduces the “How to Old Gun Mod” for Minecraft Java Edition 1.18.2, created by Zack2039. The mod focuses on old firearms and runs on various Minecraft versions, requiring Forge as the base mod engine. The guidebook for the mod, called the “Old Guns Companion,” is essential yet incomplete and somewhat hard to follow. The speaker mentions that the first item to craft is the gunsmith’s bench, a new crafting table necessary for all crafting recipes in the mod.

In this part of the video, the creator explains the process of crafting and loading a wheel lock pistol in a game. First, you need to craft a medium wooden handle and a small iron barrel. Then, create an iron gear set and an iron trigger assembly using a lever and a tripwire hook. With these components, you can craft the wheel lock mechanism. Once all parts are assembled in a crafting table, you get the wheel lock pistol. To load the pistol, you need gunpowder and iron musket balls, which are crafted from iron nuggets. The loading process is detailed, emphasizing the need for proper ingredients and using the ‘recipe’ function if necessary. It’s also mentioned that for some firearms, higher-grade black powder is required.

In this part of the video, the creation process of medium grade black powder is explained in detail. The process starts with making a substance called natir bedding using clay dirt and wheat. This mixture is transformed by dripping stone or animal excrement, turning it into nitrite solids. These solids are processed in a brewing stand with water bottles to extract liquid niter, which is then boiled in a cauldron to form niter crystals. These crystals are ground with a mortar and pestle made from polished granite and leather to produce sulfur. Finally, combining sulfur, niter crystals, and charcoal results in medium grade black powder, which is used to load a wheel lock pistol.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on creating high-grade black powder from medium-grade black powder. The process involves turning the medium-grade powder into a block, soaking it in water to make it wet, and then crushing it with a piston placed on obsidian. This results in a wet high-grade black powder cake, which is then dried in the sun to produce high-grade black powder. This high-grade powder enhances the performance of weapons and is necessary for certain firearms, like the flintlock.
The video also touches on crafting different types of guns using various parts and design notes, which can be found in sunken shipwrecks. Notably, the knock gun and flintlock mechanisms are highlighted. Additionally, reloading these guns can be tedious, but this process can be made more efficient using paper cartridges. These cartridges are created by combining honey and paper to make wax paper, which is then combined with black powder and different types of bolts, tied together with string for faster loading.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the limitations and functionalities of a weapon modification mod for a game. Although the book suggests that breach loading weapons is possible, the speaker has not found it implementable through any modifications yet. The mod features various firearms, which can degrade over time and require repair. Users can recycle damaged guns using a crafted hacksaw at the gunsmithing table or use a firearm repairing kit made from specific materials. There are multiple parts and types of guns, such as flint lock, wheel lock, and Matlock, with cap lock guns only available in certain versions. The segment also touches on the creation of different types of ammunition and the crafting of cannons, specifically the medium Naval Cannon and the Kong Groove rocket stand, though the mod currently offers limited artillery options despite suggesting more in the recipe list.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses how to make and use a medium naval cannon. They explain that gunpowder mixed with paper creates the medium charge, which is preferable for balanced firing without overloading or inadequate power. The construction materials required include a large iron cannon barrel, three blocks of iron, and four iron ingots. The speaker mentions a problem with obtaining buck strands, essential for making the match cord required to fire the cannon, as they couldn’t find a way to make them without cheating.
Additionally, the speaker explains the process of making a ramrod, tiny wooden carriage wheels, and the cannon stand, each made from simple materials like wool, sticks, buttons, and wood. They then detail assembling the cannon using a gunsmith’s bench, positioning components like the barrel on top and wheels on the side to complete the medium naval cannon.
The video also covers aiming the cannon, which requires creating a gunner’s quadrant using a compass and sticks. The speaker explains how to adjust the cannon’s aim by clicking on its back part and how to load it with the medium powder charge by shifting while holding down right-click to shove the charge into the cannon hole effectively.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the host explains the detailed process of loading and firing a cannon. First, the ramrod is used to load powder and projectiles into the cannon, followed by the Cannonball. After ensuring everything is in place, the cannon is aimed and fired. The host then discusses various types of ammunition beyond the simple Cannonball, including medium canister shot, medium iron grape shot, and medium explosive shells, each with its own loading process. These ammunition types are demonstrated, showing their effects on dummies, highlighting the increased damage and impact with different shots. Additionally, it is mentioned that overloading the cannon with larger powder charges can produce a more powerful but also more dangerous shot. Finally, the host notes a preference for various guns over cannons, despite their longer loading times, suggesting they offer more fun.
00:21:00
In this part of the video, various firearms and their characteristics are discussed. The blunderbuss fires a spread of bullets and is effective against a single target, but less so against armored opponents. The double flintlock blunderbuss can fire twice in quick succession because it holds two cartridges. The handheld mortar fires explosive rounds but is unwieldy and only usable in creative mode due to the lack of ammo in menus. The pepperbox, a short-range pistol, deals decent damage even against armored targets. The flintlock duck foot Derringer shoots multiple small projectiles. The flintlock knock gun is noted for its high damage (128 on hit) and strong kickback, requiring significant reloading time but allowing for enchanting options like Unbreaking, punch, piercing, and mending.
00:24:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the impressive damage capabilities of a mod in Minecraft, including a weapon that deals 70 damage even against full netherite armor. The speaker expresses enthusiasm for a weapon called the “Knockout,” praising its satisfying performance. The segment concludes the guide on old guns by turning to fireworks or rockets, detailing the steps to create “blasting powder” and “rocket powder” using materials such as charcoal, netherite, and sulfur. These powders are then combined with iron and sticks to craft medium iron explosive rockets. Additionally, the process to make a concrete rocket stand using wooden components is explained. When assembled, the rocket stand launches a rocket in an unpredictable yet exciting manner. The speaker humorously remarks on the patriotic feelings such rockets might evoke in Americans, despite noting that the weapon described was primarily used by the British. The speaker concludes by acknowledging the mod’s mix of fun and impracticality and hints at some incomplete aspects of the mod while sharing hopes that the guide was helpful.
