One of the best things about Minecraft is its huge modding community. Since the game's release back in 2011, thousands of mods have been created for it, adding contents like new mobs, biomes, new structures, and even weapons. Amongst them, the mods that add guns are probably the most creative of the bunch.

In a game like Minecraft, where low-tech weapons like swords or axes are dominant, having guns to play around with is actually a lot of fun. In this article, we are going to showcase the top 15 best Minecraft gun mods in 2025, updated with the latest features and compatibility for Minecraft 1.21 and beyond.
