Frontier Armaments FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get started with Frontier Armaments?
Begin by crafting or finding the basic frontier armor sets and weapons using standard crafting recipes. Start with a lower-tier armor set that matches your playstyle, then progress to heavier or more specialized sets as you gather resources.
What's the difference between the Flintlock and Firecannon?
The Flintlock is a single-target firearm that fires fire charges with armor-piercing capabilities, ideal for precision combat. The Firecannon consumes blaze rods or blaze powder to fire either single shots or area blasts, making it better for crowd control.
Do I need Spell Engine to use this mod?
No, Frontier Armaments Mod operates as a completely standalone package without requiring any additional magic library mods or frameworks.
Can I use sword enchantments on Forge Hammers?
No, Forge Hammers accept pickaxe enchantments instead of sword enchantments, since they function as both mining and combat tools.
How do I use the Firecannon effectively?
Keep blaze rods or blaze powder in your inventory—the Firecannon will consume them when fired. Switch between single-shot and area blast modes depending on whether you're targeting individual tough enemies or groups of mobs.
What armor set should I choose for mining?
Refer to the armor stat profiles in the mod to find a set that offers good durability and protection; pair it with a Forge Hammer since they break stone blocks like a pickaxe while providing melee defense.
Does the Flintlock's armor piercing work on all mobs?
The Flintlock's 40% armor piercing is most effective against heavily armored or tough foes, but it will deal reduced damage to unarmored mobs compared to standard weapons.
Can Forge Hammers replace a pickaxe entirely?
Yes, Forge Hammers break stone blocks like a pickaxe and deal melee damage, making them a dual-purpose tool that eliminates the need to carry separate mining and combat gear.
How many armor sets does this mod add?
The mod adds twelve distinct frontier-style armor sets, each with unique stat profiles designed for different survival playstyles and combat situations.
What should I do if a Firecannon shot doesn't fire?
Check that you have blaze rods or blaze powder in your inventory—the Firecannon requires these as ammunition and will not fire without them.
