Rusted

by ripiters

Rusted adds a rust stage system to the iron blocks of vanilla Minecraft, so iron structures corrode over time in the world.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.2

What it does

Iron blocks gain four rust stages that progress naturally. Exposure to weather and water contact speeds up corrosion, and players can stop it by applying a honeycomb wax to an oxidized block with an axe. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with full attribution and licensing information in a CREDITS.txt file included with each mod file.

Rusted runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across three game versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.2, with 1.2.2 as the latest file for each loader. Create is an optional dependency, and its Industrial Iron blocks and window panes are supported. Recipe viewers EMI, JEI and REI display the oxidation cycles and interaction outcomes.

Key features

  1. Four rust stages

    Iron blocks in their structural variants move through four distinct rust stages as they weather.

  2. Weather acceleration

    Rain and water contact increase the rate at which iron blocks corrode.

  3. Wax protection

    Honeycomb applied with an axe locks a block in its current oxidation state.

  4. Configurable mechanics

    Oxidation behavior can be adjusted through configuration, and the mod supports multiple languages.

Use cases

Aging iron builds

Iron structures in a survival world slowly change appearance, so a base shows its age over time.

Create industrial bases

Create's Industrial Iron blocks and window panes take part in the same corrosion cycle.

Who it’s for: Builders who want iron structures to weather and survival players who keep a long-running world. Server owners can tune the corrosion settings for their own worlds.

Questions

Which loaders does Rusted support?

Rusted is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The latest files target 26.2 on Fabric and 1.20.1 or 1.21.1 on Forge and NeoForge.

Does Rusted have to be installed on both sides?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Is Create required to use Rusted?

No. Create is an optional dependency. Without it the mod still adds the iron corrosion cycle, and Create's Industrial Iron blocks are only supported when Create is present.
