Rust Removal

Don't toss that rusty loot — restore it.

A Hytale server plugin that lets you restore useless rusty weapons and tools dropped by enemies to their former glory using a dedicated rust removal workbench.

What does this plugin add?

Rust Removal Bench

A new craftable workbench equipped with acid baths, wire brushes, and cleaning solutions. Place it in your workshop and use it to restore rusty gear — no smithing required.

Vinegar

A new crafting ingredient fermented from wild berries. Sharp-smelling and acidic, it dissolves rust and oxidation when applied with cloth. Used as a resource in the rust removal process. Craft it from 2x Red Berries and 1x Empty Glass Bottle at a Cooking Bench. The empty glass bottle can be crafted from 1x Sand at a Furnace.

How to use it

Craft or obtain a Rust Removal Bench and place it.
Add some vinegar as fuel.
Add your rusty item and 1x Linen Scrap to the bench.
Wait 15 seconds while the bench processes the item.
Collect your restored weapon or tool.
