Rusted Rebirth
by h82bl8
Rusted Rebirth is a Forge technology mod centered on salvaging scrap metal, with recycling blocks, reclaimed metal equipment and a set of new weapons, mobs and structures.
What it does
Scrap metal is the core material: it is mined from scrap metal blocks, and a collection of blocks and items is built around recycling it into processed materials. Number blocks make recycling and processing faster and easier to set up, so the salvage loop does not depend on manual crafting alone.
The mod adds a suite of armors and tools made from reclaimed metal, 14 ranged weapons with modded variants that each carry their own animated models, and two explosives. Three mobs join the world, one ranged and two melee. A wasteland biome is still in progress, and 15 different structures are included.
Rusted Rebirth requires nothing beyond Forge for 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The files cover 1.20.1 only and the latest build is 2.1, published on 2026-01-22. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Water begone! depends on it.

What the author says
This is my first minecraft mod, so take that as you will... Anyway i created this mod specifically for a modpack i was making some time ago, that project has since ended however ive continued working on this in my free time. I now think that the mod is maybe ready for the public, hopefully... The mod is centered…
