can's Cans: Reborn
by can____
can's Cans: Reborn is a Fabric and NeoForge food and equipment mod inspired by Rust, adding smelted metal fragments, cloth, advanced crafting and two new structures.
What it does
Metal fragments and cloth are obtained from defeating in-world characters, and cans can be smelted into high quality metal. Those materials feed an Advanced Crafting Table, which turns them into advanced weapons and guns. The mod also adds two generated structures, a watchtower and a trash pile, to the world.
The project is a remake of an earlier unreleased project under a previous name, and it draws its idea from the survival game Rust by Facepunch. Its spawns for Outlaws and Scientists are fixed later in development, and textures are still being tested with packs. The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files target 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with the latest 0.0.0.1 Fabric build and 0.0.0.2 NeoForge build both for 26.1.2, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
