About this project

What does Races Reborn add?

Races Reborn

Choose who you want to become. Races Reborn adds 14 playable races, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, and way of surviving Minecraft.

Your first spawn opens a race selection screen with your player model, stats, and a guide to each race. Your choice stays with you through death and rejoining. Most traits work passively, so your race changes everyday exploration, combat, and survival.

Choose your race

Race What changes
Human The default Minecraft experience, with no extra strengths or weaknesses.
Vampire Steal health in melee, thrive at night, and transform into a flying bat. Sunlight burns, and bat flight consumes hunger.
Giant Tower over other players with more health, longer block and attack reach, and powerful punches. Move and attack more slowly, and watch out for tight spaces.
Elf Move faster, fire faster and more accurate projectiles, and strengthen bow shots by standing still to aim. Gain extra chest loot and chances for bonus mob, fishing, and ore rewards, but have less health.
Dwarf A smaller, tougher miner with faster mining, unrestricted sneaking speed, and a 33% chance for bonus ore drops. Walk more slowly. Ordinary blocks do not grant bonus drops.
Merfolk Breathe underwater and in rain, swim faster, and mine normally underwater. On dry land, your air runs out; water bottles and water cauldrons can refill it.
Demon Resist fire and lava, gain strength in the Nether, and build heat to empower melee attacks and ignite enemies. Water and rain hurt.
Angel Glide, take less fall damage, deal more damage to undead, and weaken nearby undead. Have less health.
Arachnid Climb and cling to walls, ignore webs and poison, and sense moving hostile mobs while still. Spiders leave you alone unless provoked, but sunlight slows you and you have less health.
Slime Become tiny, bounce on landing, jump higher, regenerate quickly, and ignore fall damage. Have very low health and take extra fire damage. Sneak to stop bouncing.
Frostborn Thrive in cold biomes, resist freezing, walk on powder snow, chill enemies, and create temporary ice paths while sneaking. Food is less effective in hot biomes and the Nether.
Golem Gain health, armor, and knockback resistance. Repair yourself with metals or diamonds instead of food. Move slowly, take extra pickaxe damage, and sink in water with double drowning damage.
Dryad Grow stronger around abundant, varied vegetation. Different plant and tree types improve movement, armor, melee damage, and healing. Root yourself on natural ground to recover, and help nearby crops grow. Fire is especially dangerous.
Wraith Move with low gravity and silent footsteps, fall farther safely, and phase up to five blocks in the direction you look, including upward. Recover spirit in darkness. Low health, weaker armor, inverted healing and harming, and vulnerability to Smite demand care.

Controls

  • M: View your current race and its information.
  • R: Use your race ability: Vampire bat transformation or Wraith phase.
  • The race menu includes detailed information about traits and weaknesses.
  • Key bindings can be changed in Minecraft’s Controls settings.

Race selection and commands

Your initial race choice is permanent during normal survival play. Creative mode alone does not unlock reselection.

  • /race — Shows your selected race.
  • /race gui — Reopens race selection when cheats are enabled or you have operator permission.
  • /race set <race> — Changes your own race with the same permission requirement.

Configuration

Open Mods → Races Reborn → Config to find the settings. Options include disabling races for new selections, protecting players during their first selection, Slime regeneration, and Wraith spirit costs and recovery. Human always remains available.

Dedicated server owners can edit config/rr-server.toml. Server settings are controlled by the server; clients cannot override them.

Installation

Requires Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1.216 or newer for Minecraft 1.21.1, and Java 21.

Place the JAR in your mods folder. Install the mod on both the server and every connecting client for multiplayer. No additional library mods are required.

This release is for NeoForge, not Forge or Fabric. Back up existing worlds before adding or updating mods.
