Musket
Holding rightmouse while unloaded will load a bullet from the inventory, similarly to the crossbow.
Holding rightmouse when loaded aims the musket, and releasing fires the bullet. Aim time determines the accuracy.
Reloading takes 2 seconds, and aiming for 3 seconds is enough for perfectly accurate shots by default.
Firing a musket produces a visible cloud of smoke and the shot can be heard from far away, giving away the user's position.

Hex cartridges: Halves the target's defensive enchantment efficacy and increases an attacker's damage and armor piercing enchantments by two levels. Sold by weaponsmith villagers.

Gunslinger/Musketeer Illagers
Depending on the difficulty, 1-3 pillagers armed with muskets will spawn during raid waves.
Being expert shooters, they have an attack range of 24 and do not cause friendly fire damage.
As of 1.6.0, they have been reworked into Gunslingers. They use a sawn-off to defend themselves at close range and retreat when approached.
Configuration
The base reload and aim times of the musket are configurable between 40-80 in-game ticks.
The damage of gunslingers can be reduced by 25%.
Compatibility
(Neoforge/Forge only) If Consecration is installed, enchanted/hex cartridges remove undead protection.
If Enchantment descriptions (or equivalent mod) is installed, the details of each enchantment will be displayed in-game.
(1.8.1-1.21+, Developers only) The behavior code for musket usage by mobs has been refactored and should allow for use by other mods for compatibility purposes. Open a Github issue for any feedback/problems.
Modpacks
This mod can be included in any modpack.
