Minecraft Flan's mod guide

Minecraft is a survival game where players gather resources to create tools, weapons, and armor, and fight against all kinds of hostile creatures. In the base game, however, players can only use medieval weapons like swords, axes, tridents, crossbows, and bows. There are no modern weapons like guns.

Thankfully, the game is highly moddable, allowing the community to create all kinds of third-party features. One of them is called Flan's mod: Reloaded, which adds brand new fighting mechanics for other gun mods to run in Minecraft.

Flan's Mod is one of the oldest mods gun mods for Minecraft. Two years after the game was released, Flan's Games, a YouTuber, started posting small clips of the mod, showcasing various guns and how they behaved in the game. At first, the mod was only downloadable from their official website.

Later on, it arrived on CurseForge and was downloaded by more than 2.2 million players. The last time this mod was updated was in 2021 for version 1.12.2. The previous mod was an extensive library mod that added resources for other gun and vehicle content pack mods to run properly.

Through Flan's Mod, features like guns, missiles, bombs, civilian cars, trucks, vans, tanks, jets, airplanes, and much more were possible to add to Minecraft.

Fast forward to 2023, Flan's Games released a reloaded version of their original mod for newer game versions. They started working on the 1.19.3 version, and then officially released stable versions for 1.20.1.

As of now, the new Flan's Mod: Reloaded does not have all the features the original mod offers, but it still supports loads of guns, specific magazines, bullets, attachments, parts, workbenches, etc.

The mod does not offer any vehicle support like its predecessor. However, the modder has clearly mentioned vehicles will soon be added to the reloaded version as well.
