Tanegashima Musket is a Vintage Story mod by manny59. Tanegashima Musket adds a Japanese matchlock firearm to Vintage Story, expanding ranged combat with a historically styled musket.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod is suited to players who want a period-inspired Japanese firearm for roleplay, historical builds, or a broader ranged arsenal. It is an add-on for the required firearm framework rather than a standalone weapon system.
What Tanegashima Musket adds
The main addition is a tanegashima-style matchlock musket with a distinctly Japanese appearance. Its design brings a different visual identity to ranged equipment than the usual European-inspired firearms.
Because the weapon uses the firearm framework, its gameplay follows the deliberate rhythm associated with matchlocks: prepare the shot, fire from range, and manage the limitations of a slower weapon. This makes it more suitable for planned engagements than constant close-quarters fighting.
