Proximity Guns
Some modpacks are built around quiet farming or careful base building. Proximity Guns is not one of them. This pack throws hundreds of firearms, proximity voice chat, and slick new animations into the same world, turning every multiplayer session into a loud, unpredictable firefight. If you have ever wanted to hear your friends panic over voice chat while a firefight erupts around the corner, this is the pack that delivers it.
What Makes Proximity Guns Different
The headline feature is simple: guns plus voice chat. MrCrayfish's Gun Mod and Additional Guns supply the arsenal, covering everything from pistols and rifles to heavier options that make short work of mobs and players alike. Simple Voice Chat handles the audio side, so proximity matters. Sneak up on someone and they will hear you before they see you, provided they are close enough.
Layered on top are Not Enough Animations and a handful of supporting libraries that make movement and weapon handling feel less stiff. MmmMmmMmmMmm adds a target dummy, which is genuinely useful when you want to test a new weapon without dragging a friend into the crossfire. Security Craft rounds out the defensive side, letting you protect a base with more than just a wooden door.
World Generation and Survival Support
This is not a pure PvP arena pack. Biomes O' Plenty and TerraBlender expand world generation with new biomes, while Croptopia adds farming and food so survival play still has a purpose beyond shooting. Just Enough Items and Xaero's Minimap keep crafting and navigation manageable when the mod list grows long.
Supported Versions and Loader
Proximity Guns for Minecraft is built for the Forge loader on version 1.19.4. That matters because the bundled mods, including voicechat-forge and cgm-forge, are compiled against that specific release. Dropping the pack onto a different Minecraft version will break dependencies fast, so match the version before you start.
- Minecraft 1.19.4
- Forge mod loader
- Simple Voice Chat required for proximity audio
- MrCrayfish's Gun Mod and Additional Guns for the arsenal
- Biomes O' Plenty, Croptopia, and Security Craft for world and base content
If you would rather skip manual file shuffling, the foxygame.net launcher handles Proximity Guns as a one-click install, pulling the correct Forge build and every dependency automatically so nothing conflicts on launch.
How to Install Proximity Guns
Getting the pack running is straightforward if you follow the order correctly.
- Install the Forge loader for Minecraft 1.19.4.
- Create a fresh profile in your launcher and point it at that Forge version.
- Download Proximity Guns and place the mod files into the mods folder inside your Minecraft directory.
- Confirm Simple Voice Chat is present, since proximity audio will not function without it.
- Launch the game and check that all mods load without errors before joining a server.
Server owners should note that Simple Voice Chat needs a matching server-side install. Without it, players will hear nothing but silence, which defeats the entire point of the pack.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of It
Test weapons on the target dummy before heading into a fight. Use the minimap to track teammates and avoid friendly fire. Keep voice chat range in mind during building sessions, because a loud conversation can give away a hidden base. Finally, mix in Croptopia farms so you are not relying entirely on combat for resources.
Final Thoughts
Proximity Guns succeeds because it understands what makes multiplayer Minecraft tense. Guns alone are fun, but guns combined with proximity voice chat create moments you cannot script, from whispered ambushes to chaotic last stands. The supporting mods keep survival play viable, and the Forge 1.19.4 base is stable enough for long sessions. If you want a combat-focused pack with real atmosphere, download Proximity Guns and see how loud your world gets.
