BlockFront: Guns, War & More

What sets it apart

BlockFront is a World War II shooter built inside Minecraft. The page describes rifles, submachine guns, pistols and grenades, maps based on real battle locations such as Stalingrad and Normandy, and period sound and animation. The description also lists vehicles, with few details.

The notable part is that it is not a survival pack. The mod list is just three entries: the BlockFront mod, a crosshair collection and Sodium. Matchmaking is central. The page describes what it calls an official matchmaking system with player stats, ranks, friends lists and parties. The project is licensed all rights reserved and has a Patreon link.

The page says the project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mojang or Minecraft, and that the weapons and history are thematic only.

Who it suits

It suits players who want match-based multiplayer shooting with friends, closer to a standalone game than to normal Minecraft play. If you want crafting, building or exploration, this is not that.

Before you install

The only listed build is NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1. The latest version at the time of writing is 0.9.0.77b, from November 8, 2026. The number suggests a pre-1.0 project, and Modrinth shows 92 versions since February 2026, so updates are frequent.

The documentation says online play requires the latest version, and the main menu offers to install updates. On first launch you pick Play Online or Play Offline. Online shows the rules and a privacy policy link. Offline stays off the servers but still allows installed campaigns.

No RAM recommendation is published. The documentation site does not mention hardware requirements.

Playing with friends

Modrinth lists the pack as required on both client and server. In practice, the documentation points to official matchmaking, where you join parties and matches through the in-game menu, so you do not need to host anything to play with friends.

Whether you can run your own server with these files is not documented in the sources used here, and no server pack is listed. Ask on the project’s Discord before planning a private server.
