Main Features

Craftable Weapons

Added a craftable handmade shotgun that features slow firing rate, poor accuracy, and potential misfires due to imperfect firing mechanism.

Usage Features

Full-size shotguns cannot be used in the offhand slot, but if you cut down a handmade shotgun into a sawed-off version, it can be used as an offhand weapon. The sawed-off has 2-shot capacity and wide pellet spread.

New Enemy

Raids now feature a new pillager - The Elder Huntsman, armed with the "Ol' Betsy" shotgun. This is a formidable opponent that can cause significant trouble.

Rare Weapon

Added a rare non-craftable shotgun that can be assembled from parts found in rare endgame chests such as bastion remnants. This shotgun features faster pump action, reduced spread, quicker reload speed, and significantly higher durability.

"Brute" Enchantment

Special enchantment for shotguns that increases melee damage when using the shotgun stock to hit enemies and provides increased knockback depending on enchantment level.

Ammunition Types

• Handmade Shell - widest spread, minimum range and damage, potential misfires and jamming
• Rubber Shell - deals almost no damage but creates strong knockback and inflicts weakness and slowness, fires single pellet like slug round but less accurate
• Buckshot Shell - improved alternative to handmade shells without risk of misfires or jamming
• Slug Shell - maximum accuracy and firing range, but most expensive to produce

Each ammunition type has different spread and damage characteristics, allowing players to choose appropriate rounds for specific situations.

Configuration

• Option to make "Ol' Betsy" craftable (for players who just want to have fun, though crafting will be expensive)
• Settings for range, misfire chance, drop chance, loot tables, damage, spread, shot delay, and effect duration
• Rare shotgun no longer breaks at 1 durability and can be repaired with netherite ingots
• Huntsman can drop various damaged versions of "Ol' Betsy"
