AoA 3.7.1 / Minecraft 1.20.1 · partial concept and source study · native upgrade unaccepted.

Sweet Tooth is a Metal Slug BaseSniper. Its special impact hook gives the shooter Speed III for 80 ticks, nominally four seconds at 20 TPS. It does not buff the target. The inspected BaseGun caller invokes the hook after its attack method returns success, so the upgrade must not award the boost just for firing, missing, or playing a cosmetic impact effect.

The bundled EffectsLib takes builder level 3 and converts it to Minecraft amplifier 2. This is Speed III, not Speed IV. The official named source agrees with the released bytecode. Native conditions, stacking, immune targets and multiplayer behavior still need tests.

Registered input	Value
Damage	32.5
Durability	460
Firing delay	77 ticks, nominally 3.85 seconds at 20 TPS
Stored recoil constructor input	Approximately 0.05
Ammunition	Metal Slug
Scope	Inherited SCOPE_1
Sound	Medium rifle, long report

These are constructor inputs, not measured final damage, animation timing or recoil displacement. SweetTooth does not override projectile creation or scope selection. Original native flight, impact and scope footage remain required.

The original combines chocolate-brown structure, red/white peppermint accents, a bright yellow band, dark raised sight with yellow highlights and pink rear decoration. The candy ingredients support this visual theme, but do not establish a fictional manufacturer, origin story or new edible ammunition. The upgrade keeps Metal Slugs unless a separately designed gameplay conversion explicitly changes the contract.

Use Sniper Frame as the base input with seven ingredients: Candy Corn twice, Candy Cane, Chocolate Block, Gingerbread Cookie, Sugar and an iron-ingot tag match. The two Candy Corn entries occupy two ingredient slots. The reconstructed diagram's middle grid is order-independent. It is a recipe guide, not an in-game capture. Iron is a tag example and datapacks can change matches.

The proposed chocolate enamel, frosted ceramic, amber accents and glossy icing preserve the original color zones. The hero and side views now put the rear grip behind the trigger, with an open guard. A single peppermint muzzle collar and rear peppermint grip preserve the two main accent zones.

This remains a partial, unaccepted art study. Revision four reconciles the inspection inset to the single front collar in the hero and side views. That visual correction does not establish exact 3D proportions or a validated inspection animation. Native hands, actual scale, optic alignment, all moving-part clearances and matching opposite-side construction have not passed QA. The painted texture is a reference, not a finished UV map.

Earlier concepts retained, with their rejected details

Revision one introduced an oversized underbody slab and extra front peppermint collar. It did not pass ergonomic review.

Revision two opened the guard but put the pistol grip on the wrong side of the trigger. Revision three corrects that arrangement in the main and side views. Neither earlier version is discarded or presented as accepted.

Revision three corrected the main grip layout but retained an obsolete inspection-inset collar. Revision four corrects that view inconsistency.

• Original-fit / premium: retain chocolate, yellow, peppermint and pink grouping in both visual modes; author real UVs, material response and readable small-scale detail.
• Attachments: compact amber sight housing, peppermint sleeve, stable fore-end and optional candy-glass fantasy scatter conversion. Gameplay-changing conversions need explicit damage, projectile count, effect, resource and authority rules.
• Animation: equip, idle, aim, confirmed fire, recoil recovery, optional reload, inspection, switching and interruption recovery, with first/third-person hands.
• Inspect: restrained icing ribbon or gingerbread charm flourish; it must not block aiming or grant a speed buff.
• Flight / impacts: preserve original comparison footage; separate muzzle, tracer, entity/armor/terrain/fluid impact, decal and confirmed-kill finisher channels. Painted golden sparks are cosmetic proposals.
• Progression: earned gingerbread charms, skins, emblems and static/animated/glowing stickers; customizable tracer, impact and death effects with safe placement.
• Effect salvage: conserve resources, retain unknown extension data, support full-inventory returns and keep server-authoritative Speed rewards independent of client cosmetics.
• Performance: game-time presentation, bounded particles/decals, cached settings, no repeated scans, and measured equivalent-work native testing.

• Original native flight, impact, scope, sound and successful-hit speed evidence
• Consistent inspection, attachment, projectile, decal and finisher art
• Faithful mesh, two UV/material modes, hand fit and collision review
• Correct shooter-only Speed III duration, successful-hit gating and stacking
• Native networking, persistence, optional compatibility and performance acceptance

Original AoA assets and behavior are credited to Tslat and contributors. Generated art, tests and proposed integration work are separate. No native acceptance is promoted.

For this pinned 1.20.1 release, the stored constructor recoil input is not the inherited modifier getter: the inspected BaseGun.getRecoilModifier() returns approximately 0.35. The per-shot method and later client application determine the actual recoil path. Do not infer a stronger or weaker measured kick from the constructor column alone. This clarification does not change the original values, weapon balance or acceptance state. Resolved method routing.
