Historical weapon acquisition atlas

Minecraft 1.12.2 · AoA 3.3.6. Every one of the 412 checked weapon registrations now has an acquisition-reference panel in the item explorer. Search the name, then expand 1.12.2 acquisition references.

Follow an actual route

1. Recipe outputs: open an exact recipe link, check every input and the workstation type, then follow its weapon usage guide.
2. Direct loot-table entries: read the listed table identity. Blocks, reward items, skills, structures and miscellaneous tables are included as well as entities. An entry is not proof that a table is currently invoked by a particular event.
3. Trader candidates: inspect the purchase guide for quantities, both payment slots and generated versus fixed lists.
4. No listed route: read the remaining-gaps section. Code-driven rewards and restoration stations are separate from JSON and literal trader outputs.

Source category	Weapon IDs with direct references	Interpretation
Shipped recipe outputs	255	256 cards; alternate recipes remain separate
All bundled loot-table item entries	128	87 distinct tables; includes non-creature categories
Checked trader outputs	25	29 offers across 15 trader types
At least one of those categories	399	Overlaps are counted only once
Unresolved within those categories	13	Not an unobtainability classification

Weights are not percentages

The evidence preserves each complete loot-table definition, its archive path and SHA-256, plus the JSON pointer to every matching item entry. Pool rolls, entry quality, conditions, functions and competing entries can change the result. A weight of 25 does not mean a 25% chance. Nested-table reachability and code-driven bonus drops are not evaluated by this direct-entry scan.

Remaining source-category gaps

These thirteen weapons have no direct reference in the three categories above. They remain visible with a clear explanation rather than disappearing from the browser. Five checked waterlogged restoration branches now have their own guide, but normal acquisition of those input items remains unresolved. Holy Sword and Gardener event rewards are now separately traced, alongside the declared Experiment W-801 sequence whose end-to-end runtime completion remains unverified; no item below is labeled removed or impossible to obtain.

Weapon	Family	Status
Coral Clogger	gun	Checked restoration; input acquisition unresolved
Gardener	gun	Checked event reward: see linked event guide
Discharge Shotgun	shotgun	Special or other route requires separate verification
Aqua Cannon	cannon	Checked restoration; input acquisition unresolved
Coral Cannon	cannon	Checked restoration; input acquisition unresolved
Discharge Cannon	cannon	Special or other route requires separate verification
Coral Archergun	archergun	Checked restoration; input acquisition unresolved
Everfight Staff	staff	Special or other route requires separate verification
Evermight Staff	staff	Special or other route requires separate verification
Experiment W-801	blaster	Declared reserved-item sequence; runtime verification pending
Reefer	blaster	Checked restoration; input acquisition unresolved
Vortex Blaster	blaster	Special or other route requires separate verification
Holy Sword	sword	Checked event reward: see linked event guide

Evidence, version safety and performance

Full acquisition evidence · Exact weapon-registration census

The item explorer receives compact references in its existing selected-release data shard. Panel contents are built once, on first expansion; opening them does not trigger another network fetch or scan game files. The full loot definitions are only opened when you choose their evidence link. Later-release cards do not receive historical acquisition advice.

This is a documentation/source-reference audit, not an in-game survival, drop-rate, trading or Enderloom acceptance test. Models and textures are by Tslat and contributors; images reuse the checked source-model portraits.
