About this project
What does Rustic Engineer add?

Rustic Engineer is a mod based on mechanical constructions of all types, from transport machines and even accessories. Everything is very rustic and built only with wood and metals, maintaining the vanilla appearance.
Developing these mods takes time, dedication, and a lot of care — all because I love seeing you have fun with them.
