Point Blank Bullet Addon

Point Blank Bullet Addon (PBBA) is a Fabric addon for Vic's Point Blank that converts supported hitscan gun fire into fast visible projectile entities. This lets projectile/ranged-damage systems, including RPG Skill Tree and Pufferfish's Attributes, treat Point Blank gunfire as ranged projectile damage.

What It Does

PBBA intercepts supported Point Blank hitscan shots server-side and spawns a fast, visible tracer projectile instead. The original hitscan damage path is cancelled after the projectile is spawned, ammo is consumed once, and projectile damage uses an indirect projectile damage source so Pufferfish's ranged damage modifiers can apply.

The current MVP also reads Pufferfish's bow/crossbow projectile speed attributes once when the bullet spawns, so RPG Skill Tree arrow speed bonuses affect bullet speed without changing bullet damage.

Blue Archive Pack

Place the Blue Archive Pack zip as a Point Blank content pack, for example under run/pointblank/ in the dev environment. Do not put it in src/main/resources, do not edit it for PBBA, and do not redistribute Point Blank or Blue Archive assets inside this addon.

Debug Commands

• /pbba_debug status
• /pbba_debug reset
• /pbba_debug projectile_damage true|false
• /pbba_debug conversion true|false
• /pbba_debug loaded_mods
• /pbba_spawn_bullet

Temporary compatibility aliases:

• /vpbcompat_debug
• /vpbcompat_spawn_bullet

Testing

Use /pbba_debug status to confirm conversion counters, projectile damage counters, last weapon, last target, bullet speed, detected projectile speed attributes, and current owner speed multipliers.

Useful checks:

• /pbba_debug conversion false should restore Point Blank's original hitscan behavior.
• /pbba_debug projectile_damage false should prevent PBBA projectile damage and help detect any leftover hitscan damage.
• /pbba_spawn_bullet should spawn a visible white tracer bullet without requiring a gun.

Known Limitations

• Shotguns and multi-pellet weapons still need validation.
• Long automatic-fire sessions need stress testing.
• Dedicated server still needs to be tested.
• Other weapon mods and other skill/attribute mods have not been validated.
• Old aliases /vpbcompat_debug and /vpbcompat_spawn_bullet are temporary.
