⚙️ RUST&RUNES

MACHINES • MAGIC • ADVENTURE

Minecraft, but further.

Rust&Runes is a large-scale Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge modpack built by a Minecraft fan who simply wanted to create the kind of world they would personally love to play in.

It is not trying to be the most polished, most optimized, or most revolutionary modpack ever made.

It was made with passion.

Rust&Runes brings together technology, magic, exploration, nature, atmosphere, combat, farming, building and everyday life — all in one world.

The goal is simple:

Take Minecraft further without losing the feeling of playing Minecraft.

⚙️🔮 TECHNOLOGY × MAGIC

This is what makes Rust&Runes different.

Most modpacks make you choose your path.

Technology or magic.

Rust&Runes wants you to combine them.

The massive Create ecosystem gives you factories, automation, trains, airships, cannons, transportation and industrial machinery.

At the same time, Ars Nouveau and its addons bring spells, magical systems and arcane progression.

With mods such as Ars Creo, Ars Technica, Ars Additions and Ars Elemental, the technological and magical sides of the pack can interact instead of existing as completely separate systems.

Build machines. Learn magic. Then combine them.

Create a factory powered by engineering.

Create a magical workshop.

Or build something that sits somewhere between the two.

Science and magic don't have to compete.

🐉 COMBAT & ADVENTURE

The world is beautiful. It is also dangerous.

🐉 LEGENDS OF THE WILDERNESS

Some creatures are meant to be legends.

In Rust&Runes, the spawn rate of creatures from Ice & Fire has been heavily reduced.

Not because we wanted less content.

Because we wanted encounters to matter.

Dragons shouldn't be something you see every few minutes while walking through the world.

They should be something you hear about before you ever see one.

A strange story from a distant village.

Tracks in the wilderness.

A ruined settlement.

A glimpse of something enormous flying beyond the mountains.

And then, after a long journey...

You finally find it.

A dragon's lair.

A legendary creature.

A place worth remembering.

The same philosophy applies to the wider world of Rust&Runes:

Rare things become stories.

We want exploration to feel like an adventure, not a checklist.

When you encounter something truly extraordinary, you should remember where you found it, how you found it, and how you survived.

🐉 Dragons aren't common mobs here.

They're legends waiting to be discovered.

❤️ MADE WITH PASSION

Rust&Runes isn't trying to win a competition for the biggest mod count.

It isn't trying to claim that every mechanic is perfectly balanced.

It isn't trying to be the most technically impressive modpack ever created.

It's a project made by someone who loves Minecraft.

Every part of the pack exists because there was an idea behind it:

What if Create and magic could work together?

What if the world felt more alive?

What if exploration actually rewarded curiosity?

What if you could build a factory, a magical tower and a cozy tavern in the same world?

What if Minecraft simply gave you more reasons to stay?

That's Rust&Runes.

Not perfect.

Not finished.

Not trying to be everything for everyone.

Just a world made with love for Minecraft.
