Iourus Races
by WR_Eiden
Iourus Races, a NeoForge adventure mod for 26.2, lets each player pick a fantasy race whose strengths and weaknesses shape how they fight, explore and survive.
What it does
The mod takes a role-playing approach to Minecraft, tying racial identity to progression and cultural gameplay in the medieval fantasy world of Iourus. Race is meant to change how a player plays, not only how the character looks. Each race comes with passive bonuses and gameplay differences, and the design avoids plain stat upgrades in favor of distinct playstyles.
Elves move across leaves with improved mobility, Orcs gain combat power during battle, Dwarves are built around resistance and heavy equipment forging, and Humans are balanced for versatility. Planned systems include blacksmithing and forging traditions, race-exclusive weapons and armor, progression trees, settlements and lore events. Iourus Races is one piece of a bigger, connected project whose aim is a living fantasy RPG sandbox, and it is meant to slot into RPG adventure modpacks and survival servers.
Iourus Races requires Fabric Language Kotlin. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 26.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest file. The mod is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source.
