Wake up on a beach with a rock and a torch. Survive.
Rustcraft brings Rust's survival loop into Minecraft: Java Edition (1.21.1, Fabric). Rust's real items are read from your own installed copy of Rust, so you need both games.
It looks like Rust
- A Rust-style HUD: health, calories and hydration bars with Rust's own item icons, condition chips for bleeding, radiation and temperature, a compass strip across the top and your ammo count beside the hotbar.
- Dark steel inventory, crafting, furnace and workbench panels with an orange hotbar selection.
- Rust's own item art, cleaned up and shown as thick 3D held items: the hatchet, pickaxe, AK and the rest look like the Rust tools you know. Names, descriptions, stack sizes and icons come straight from your Rust install.
What's Rust in here
- Rust's survival meters: thirst, cold (with temperature), bleeding and radiation.
- Rust-style gathering: logs give wood, stone gives stones, iron ore gives metal fragments, grass gives cloth.
- Wildlife that finds you: bears, wolves and boars. Hunt them for Rust meat, leather and fat, then cook the meat on a campfire, furnace or smoker.
- Workbenches level 1 to 3: craft better gear from a Rust-style menu. Guns like the revolver, Thompson, bolt rifle and AK need their blueprint first: find it in monument crates, or hold the weapon you found and research it with scrap.
What's Minecraft here
- Minecraft's world, building and crafting, with Rust-style recipes.
- Tiered walls and doors: wood, stone, sheet metal and armored. Upgrade walls with the hammer. Satchels and C4 wear them down stage by stage, and you can see the cracks spread.
- Code locks on doors and wood boxes: type /code and the digits while looking at it. Raiders and charges can still blow them open.
- Workbenches and boxes are real 3D models, not plain cubes.
Your first playthrough
- Start on a beach with a rock and a torch. Scavenge, craft a hatchet, find water, watch for bears.
- Build a base, drop a sleeping bag (your spawn and base centre), put in a door and a lock, upgrade the walls.
- Raid the monuments: Gas Station, Airfield and Launch Site, each with Rust loot, scientists in hazmat suits and, at the bigger ones, radiation. Bring a hazmat suit.
- Every couple of days at dusk, AI raiders walk up to your base and plant satchel charges on your walls and doors.
Solo. No multiplayer in this version.
You need: Minecraft: Java Edition (with your Minecraft account) and Rust on Steam. The first start downloads Minecraft 1.21.1 and Fabric.
Rust's art and data stay on your PC; nothing from Rust is shipped. Unofficial fan project, not affiliated with Facepunch or Mojang.
