So, earlier today I was in an elytra dogfight with bloops where we flew with elytras and fireworks. I almost got a few good shots with my fireworks crossbow, but it was too slow and took way too long to load. So I thought, man, this would be better if I had a machine gun.

And then I found a plugin that adds guns. You won't have to download any mods!

I've come up with three different options for how we could proceed.

1: we do not add guns.

Please don't pick this, you will make me very sad.

2: We add guns, but don't allow people to use them, and reserve them for special events. There's a plugin that makes items uncraftable, so we could use this on the guns, so only Edward could be able to distribute them or something for special occasions.

3: we add guns, with no restrictions whatsoever.

Personally, I'm leaning towards the second option, but let me know your choice below.

I am opposed generally to mods like that. Not because guns, but because I feel they really don't fit with the general minecraft aesthetic and mechanics of the game. Nowadays, the game is in such a state that vanilla (or sometimes even vanilla-plus) gameplay, at least for me, allows a great deal of stuff to do. I find it a good thing that the closes thing we have to guns is the crossbow with rockets. In case of the second option, which kind of events do you have in mind? If they are uncraftable and there's a good reason for them, I think something like that might have a place.

As I said at the top, the crossbows were way too slow. I thought it would be fun if we could do like a pvp shootout once in a while, or just a dogfight like I originally proposed.

Depends on which mod it is, I find. Base MrCrayfish doesn't stray too far, I don't think.

Not mod, plugin. Mods need to be downloaded by everyone, so we're sticking to plugins or server side mods. Luckily, I found a plugin for guns.
