Iourus Races

⚔️ Iourus Races

Forge your own identity in a medieval fantasy world where your race changes the way you play Minecraft.

Iourus Races is a fantasy RPG mod inspired by classic fantasy worlds and roleplaying systems. Instead of races being cosmetic only, every race comes with unique gameplay mechanics, strengths, weaknesses, and future progression paths that affect combat, exploration, crafting, and survival.

Designed for RPG and adventure modpacks, the mod aims to make each playthrough feel different depending on the race you choose.
