Joy187's Additional Guns
If you have ever wanted to bring the survival-horror firepower of Resident Evil into your blocky world, Joy187's Additional Guns is exactly the add-on you have been looking for. This expansion builds directly on MrCrayfish's Gun Mod, adding a full arsenal of themed firearms, ammunition, and attachments that transform ordinary combat encounters into tense, tactical firefights.
What Joy187's Additional Guns Adds
Joy187's Additional Guns for Minecraft is not a standalone weapons pack; it is an add-on for MrCrayfish's Gun Mod, which means you need that base mod installed first. Once everything is in place, the add-on injects a substantial amount of new content into the game:
- 17 new guns inspired by the Resident Evil series
- 5 distinct ammo types to feed those weapons
- 7 attachments for customizing your loadout
Every weapon can be acquired through the Weapon Store, keeping progression consistent with the base mod. Attachments work the same way they do in MrCrayfish's Gun Mod, so you can slap on scopes, grips, and other accessories without learning a new system. If you already understand the parent mod, you already understand this add-on.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
Joy187's Additional Guns is designed for the Forge mod loader, matching the requirements of MrCrayfish's Gun Mod itself. In practice, this means you should check that your Minecraft version lines up with the version of the base gun mod you are running, since the add-on depends on it directly. Most players run it on the 1.12.2 and 1.16.5 branches, which remain the most popular versions for MrCrayfish's Gun Mod content. Always confirm compatibility between the add-on, the base mod, and your loader before installing, because a mismatch is the most common cause of crashes on startup.
How to Install Joy187's Additional Guns
Getting the add-on running is straightforward if you follow the right order. Here is the process:
- Install Minecraft Forge for your chosen game version
- Place MrCrayfish's Gun Mod in your mods folder first
- Add the Joy187's Additional Guns file to the same mods folder
- Launch the game and confirm both mods load without errors
When you download Joy187's Additional Guns, double-check that the file matches your game version. Dropping a 1.16.5 build into a 1.12.2 setup will not work, and the game will usually refuse to start. If something goes wrong, the developer maintains a GitHub repository where issues can be reported, so bugs and compatibility problems have a proper home.
For players who prefer a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Joy187's Additional Guns into a curated add-on catalog, letting you install it alongside the required base mod in a single click instead of juggling separate files and version checks.
Why It Fits Survival and Modpacks
The real strength of this add-on is how naturally it slots into existing worlds. Because it hooks into MrCrayfish's Gun Mod rather than replacing it, you keep all your familiar mechanics while gaining a themed arsenal that feels distinct. The Resident Evil inspiration shows in the weapon designs and naming, giving each gun a recognizable identity instead of feeling like a generic stat swap.
Ammo management adds another layer. With 5 ammo types spread across 17 weapons, you cannot simply hoard one caliber and call it a day. You will plan trips to the Weapon Store, weigh which guns deserve your inventory space, and think twice before spraying bullets at every zombie that wanders into view.
Attachments and Customization
The 7 attachments round out the experience. They let you tune a weapon toward range, control, or handling, and the system mirrors the base mod closely enough that veteran players will feel at home immediately. Combining the right attachment with the right ammo type is where the tactical depth really opens up.
Final Thoughts
Joy187's Additional Guns is a focused, well-integrated expansion that gives MrCrayfish's Gun Mod a strong Resident Evil flavor without overcomplicating things. If you want more variety in your firearms, a reason to visit the Weapon Store again, and combat that rewards preparation, this add-on delivers. Just remember the golden rule: base mod first, add-on second, and always match your Minecraft version. Do that, and your world gets a serious upgrade in firepower.
