Description
Choose your shot, endure a tense reload, let the fuse light up and unleash your handgonne. The handgonne uses whatever ammo is available in your inventory and requires one gunpowder to fire for each round. Based on the earliest form of gunpowder weapon that truly did exist in medieval times before matchlocks, so this is least lorebreaking for any medieval setting too. Ammunition can consist of a more affordable stone ball shot, a scattershot or the more powerful iron shot that is capable of hitting other enemies behind your enemy. You can also craft a pouch to store ammo in that you aren't using.

Minecraft Handgonne
Quickstart
Craft a Stonefire Handgonne and some Stone Shot, then keep both the ammunition and gunpowder in your inventory. Aim at a target, hold use for 11 seconds to load, and keep holding for the final second after the fuse lights.
Try Stone Shot first. To choose another ammunition type, crouch and use the handgonne to cycle through Stone Shot, Iron Shot, and Scattershot.
Overview
The Stonefire Handgonne is a slow-loading firearm with three kinds of shot. Each firing uses one selected shot and one gunpowder. You must keep holding use through the full reload and fuse; releasing early interrupts it.
What It Adds
- Stonefire Handgonne: The weapon.
- Stone Shot: A single projectile.
- Iron Shot: A powerful shot that passes through targets.
- Scattershot: Nine pellets fired in a spread.
- Ammo Pouch: A portable container with nine slots for handgonne ammunition.
How To Use
- Put the handgonne, your chosen ammunition, and gunpowder in your inventory.
- Equip the handgonne and aim at your target.
- If needed, crouch and use the handgonne to select a shot type.
- Hold use for 11 seconds. When the fuse lights, keep holding for one more second until it fires.
The handgonne uses your selected type if you have it. If you don’t, it uses another available handgonne ammunition type instead. You need to keep ammunition and gunpowder in your inventory throughout reloading; they are consumed when the shot fires.
You cannot fire underwater or in open rain. Get out of the water or under cover before starting.
Crafting And Obtaining
Craft the ammunition and pouch in a crafting grid:
| Item | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Stone Shot | |
| Iron Shot | |
| Scattershot | |
| Ammo Pouch |
Use the Ammo Pouch to open its storage, then put handgonne ammunition inside. To fire, take ammunition out and keep it in your inventory.
Abilities And Mechanics
- Stone Shot deals 24 damage on a hit.
- Each Scattershot pellet deals 24 damage; the nine pellets spread out, making the shot most useful at close range.
- Iron Shot deals 50 damage and can pass through multiple targets, but stops when it hits a block.
- All three shot types can bypass shields. Hits also wear down the target’s worn armor.
Progression And Strategy
Stock up on gunpowder and your preferred ammunition before a fight: the long reload leaves little room for interruptions. Scattershot is suited to nearby targets, while Iron Shot can hit a line of enemies. Choose Stone Shot for a straightforward single-target shot.
