RustingCraft

Start with your fists. Earn everything else.

A block world to mine, build, farm, fish and fight in, alone or with up to seven friends. You start weak, and every ability is earned in fourteen skill trees.

Skills

Every ability is earned

Any activity gives general XP. Player levels give skill points, a point unlocks a skill tree, and an unlocked skill grows only by doing it. Mine iron to become a better miner; harvest wheat to become a better farmer.

World

A world in rings

The world is infinite, and it gets more dangerous and richer the farther you travel from spawn and the deeper you dig: from the meadows around spawn to frost peaks, and down into the Deep below y = −64.

Farm, fish, cook

Farm, fish, cook

Till farmland, grow thirteen crops and hope for a golden harvest. Read the water, wait for the bite and win the reel. Cook feasts that buff everyone at the table.

Co-op

Split the work

Solo play runs an integrated server in the same process, the way Minecraft does. Open it to friends, or run a dedicated server on the same code. Skill points are limited, so friends split the roles: the farmer, the smith, the fighter.

Mobs and combat

Danger is readable

Hollows walk at night, bone archers keep their distance and bog slimes split when they die. Every hostile makes a sound when it notices you, and every attack has a wind-up you can see.

Bosses

Five bosses, five gates

Summon each boss at its altar with an offering. Its trophy opens the next material tier, from iron to the legendary Hearthforged gear.

Graphics

Shaders and mods, built in

Players download shader packs and mods to make block games look better. RustingCraft ships that look by default: clear water with ripples and reflections, glass, a torch that lights the world from your hand, waving plants and hand animations. Four presets from Low to Ultra.
