2. Equip the scattergun in your main hand. Keep magazines in your offhand or anywhere in your inventory.
3. Aim at a Creeper or another health-bearing entity within 24 blocks.
4. Hold the use button to fire a rapid burst of up to six shots. Release the button to stop firing.
5. Watch for the bright green beam and listen for the blast sound to confirm each shot.

Overview

The Creeper Scattergun is a rare, hold-to-fire weapon for rapidly blasting Creepers and other targets. It fires instant hitscan shots along your aim direction instead of launching slow-moving projectiles.

The scattergun uses Creeper Scattergun Magazines as ammunition and searches your inventory for them. No manual reload action is required.

What It Adds

How To Use

Firing

• Hold the use button while aiming at a target.
• The scattergun fires up to six shots per use.
• Shots fire once per game tick, producing a very rapid burst.
• Release the use button to end the burst.
• Each shot deals 5 damage to the first valid health-bearing entity along the shot.
• The scattergun does not damage the player who is firing it.
• Shots can reach targets up to 24 blocks away.

The weapon displays a bright green beam along its firing path and produces a low-pitched blast sound.

Ammunition

The scattergun can draw magazines from:

• Your offhand
• Anywhere in your inventory

A full six-shot burst can use up to six magazine items, so carry a generous supply when fighting groups of Creepers. The weapon can also be used in Creative mode.

Durability

The Creeper Scattergun has 36 durability. It is not stackable and has rare item rarity.

Crafting And Obtaining

Both items are available in the crafting table and appear in the Equipment category of the Creative inventory.

One iron ingot and one copper ingot produce 16 magazines.

The magazine recipe unlocks when you have iron ingots available.

Creeper Scattergun

The scattergun requires:

• 3 iron ingots
• 1 gunpowder
• 1 dispenser
• 1 flint and steel
• 1 stick

The scattergun recipe becomes available after the required ingredients have been obtained.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Rapid burst: Holding use fires a maximum of six shots rather than a single round.
• Instant hitscan fire: Shots travel instantly along your line of aim.
• 24-block range: Targets outside this range cannot be hit.
• Five damage per shot: Repeated shots make the weapon effective against tougher mobs.
• Green firing beam: A visible green beam helps show where each shot is aimed.
• Inventory ammunition search: Magazines do not need to be loaded into a separate magazine slot; the scattergun can find them in your inventory or offhand.

Progression And Strategy

Craft magazines in batches before exploring or approaching a Creeper-heavy area. Since the weapon fires quickly, short controlled holds help conserve ammunition and durability.

For the best results:

• Keep targets within 24 blocks.
• Aim directly at the target’s center.
• Use the first few shots to stop a Creeper before it gets close.
• Carry extra magazines when fighting multiple mobs.
• Use Creative mode to practice aiming and burst control before taking the scattergun into Survival.
