Vic's Point Blank is a high-quality gun mod for Minecraft built by the original authors of Vic's Modern Warfare. It focuses on community contribution, letting you bring your own modeled, textured, and animated weapons into the game with no programming experience at all. The guiding idea is simple, easy to learn and easy to implement, with a modeled gun going from file to in-game item in about ten minutes.

What Vic's Point Blank brings to your world

Out of the box, the mod ships with around 40 weapons and counting. Each one features detailed reload, inspect, and draw animations, and many of them support multiple fire modes that you switch between by pressing the B key. The guns aim to feel grounded rather than over the top, with recoil that varies per weapon and accuracy that drops while running and improves when you aim down sights. The result is a smooth, intuitive FPS feel that still fits Minecraft's blocky aesthetic.

A quick note on shaders, the animations do not play nicely with every shader pack, so test your favorite setup before committing to a full playthrough.

Beyond shooting, the mod leans into survival play. Every weapon is craftable through the in-game Weapons Printer, so you can earn your arsenal instead of spawning it. You can also bolt on attachments like sights, scopes, silencers, grips, and underbarrel launchers, and later versions add skins for the base guns. An in-game content packs menu (opened with Alt+Y) lets you browse, add, or remove community packs without digging through folders.

Building your own guns with Blockbench and Geckolib

The headline feature is content creation. If you have a modeled, textured, and animated gun ready, the whole process of getting it into the game is straightforward. You only need two tools.

The first is Blockbench, a free third-party program for modeling, texturing, and animating game assets. The second is the Geckolib plugin for Blockbench, which handles the animation integration with Minecraft. Once both are set up, grab the official Point Blank template content pack and use it as your base framework. As long as your model is properly configured, importing it is a short workflow rather than a coding exercise.

If you want a deeper look at how the animation library fits into the wider modding stack, our Geckolib overview is a good companion read.

Installing the mod

Getting Point Blank running follows the standard modded Minecraft path. Install your preferred loader first, then add Geckolib as a required dependency, then drop the Point Blank jar into your mods folder. Our how to install Minecraft mods walkthrough covers the full folder and profile setup if you are new to it, and the Fabric and Forge guides break down each loader separately.

One thing worth repeating, the mod is required on both the client and the server, so make sure everyone on a multiplayer world is running it before you start a session.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add my own guns without writing code?

Yes. That is the entire pitch. With Blockbench and the Geckolib plugin, a finished model can be in the game in roughly ten minutes, no Java or scripting required.

Do the guns work in survival mode?

They do. Every weapon is craftable through the Weapons Printer, so you can build a legit arsenal instead of pulling items from the creative menu.

Are shaders fully supported?

Not always. The reload and inspect animations can clash with some shader packs, so test your pack of choice before a long session and switch if the visuals break.

Is the mod needed on the server too?

Yes. Point Blank runs on both the client and the server side, so every player on a multiplayer world has to install it.

Can I customize weapons further?

You can. Attachments like sights, scopes, silencers, grips, and underbarrel launchers are supported, and later versions add skins for the base guns on top of that.
