About this project
What does Rusty Ores add?
Rusty Ores
Rusty Ores brings the satisfying ore-mining mechanics from RUST into Minecraft. Use the right pickaxe, work through the vein and chase the moving white X for bonus progress.
If you have played RUST, the mining loop will feel familiar. If you haven't, it still makes gathering ores far more interactive than simply holding down one button.
This mechanic also works with modded variants of ores.
