Gameplay Showcase
What is Rubywars?
Welcome, Commander.
Rubywars is a top-down real-time strategy game set across the procedurally generated Rubylands, a world of blocky terrain, precious resources, and endless war. Command your units, raise fortifications block by block, and crush your enemies before the sun goes down.
Plan. Execute. Win.
Features
- Top-down real-time strategy gameplay across procedurally generated maps
- Three factions with distinct unit rosters -- Villagers, Monsters and Piglins
- Resource gathering: mine rubies, chop lumber, feed your war machine
- Billboarded sprites for smooth framerates
- Day/night cycle that functions as a natural fog of war -- nightfall brings chaos
- Fully destructible terrain -- terraform your destiny
- Play solo or with friends! 100% LAN-party ready
- Low-poly blocky aesthetic

About This Modpack
Inspired by the great RTS titles of the era, Rubywars asks: what if Notch had gone a different direction with Rubydung, and years earlier at that? What if, instead of digging alone, you commanded armies?
This is a faithful recreation of the Rubywars 2000 Edition experience, built for modern Minecraft using mods that approximate the look, feel, and tone of an alternate-history RTS from the turn of the millennium.
