Pack-a-Punch Machine

# Pack-a-Punch Machine Upgrade any weapon. Dominate late-game. Pack-a-Punch Machine brings the iconic upgrade system into Minecraft boosting damage output on any weapon or damage-dealing item, with full support for both Vanilla and TaCZ firearms. Built for Zombie Apocalypse, Hardcore Survival, and high-difficulty modpacks where enemies hit hard and late-game progression matters. ## Main Features - Works with any weapon that has base damage - Vanilla or modded - Compatible with TaCZ Official 1.20.1 & TaCZ Unofficial 1.21.1 - Fully Customizable Config - Add unlimited upgrade tiers! Define custom damage multipliers, required items, and costs via a simple config string (e.g., 1.2;minecraft:diamond_block;12). - One-Slot Smart UI - Payment materials are drawn directly from the player's inventory, keeping the UI clean and saving you from manually splitting item stacks. - Runtime damage scaling - No permanent modification to weapon stats - Multiplayer-safe - No permanent stat modification, sync-friendly - Modpack-friendly and designed for future expansion ## Default Upgrade Levels (Fully Configurable) Out of the box, the mod comes with 3 default tiers, but you can add as many levels as you want (up to 100+) in the packapunch-common.toml config file! - Level 1 - x1.2 Requires: 12 Diamond Blocks - Level 2 - x1.5 Requires: 24 Diamond Blocks - Level 3 - x2.0 Requires: 2 Netherite Blocks ## Developer Note This mod was inspired by older Pack-a-Punched mods and rebuilt specifically for NeoForge 1.21.1 to support newer TaCZ systems and improve late-game balance in survival-focused modpacks. A Forge 1.20.1 port is also available for players on older modpack setups. Huge respect and credits to the original creator(s) of the earlier (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/tacz-pack-a-punched) for the original idea and inspiration that helped shape this project. This is not intended to replace or disrespect the original mod in any way - it is a modern reimagining focused on compatibility, stability, and support for newer gameplay systems. ## Feedback & Balance This mod is still actively being balanced and improved. If you encounter any of the following, please report them: - Bugs or crashes - Compatibility issues - Damage calculation problems - Upgrade exploits - Multiplayer desyncs - Balance or progression issues Upgrade costs may still change in future updates based on player feedback, as late-game costs are still being tested for Hardcore and Zombie Apocalypse modpacks. All feedback is appreciated and helps make the mod better!
