Content Packs

GWO is the core firearm framework. Weapon models, animations, sounds, ammunition, and attachments are provided through separate content packs.

Content packs are not included with this CurseForge project and must be obtained separately.

Creators can build their own firearms and attachments without modifying the GWO source code. Complete content-pack documentation is available on the official wiki:

Development Status

GWO is currently under active development. Features, APIs, and content-pack formats may change before the first stable release.
