About this Modpack
Welcome to Rusted Gears
This Minecraft modpack was made to add a bunch more content to the game while still keeping the vanilla charm.
Content
In Rusted Gears, we have added technology, both futuristic and steampunk, with the help of AE2 and Create. Rusted Gears also adds VR support to the game, along with compatibility with mods like Create. The modpack adds many new and unique weapons to your arsenal, from a soul-stealing sword to an auto-loading cannon.
Terrian
The terrian generation in Rusted Gears hopes to add more verticality that we felt the caves and cliffs update lacked while giving the sense of adventure to the game once more. We aimed to keep the terrian as vanilla looking as possible to keep the charm we all know and love.
