Rustic Mod Features 14
Cabinets
Cabinets can be made with wood planks and trapdoors. They can be oriented in any of the four cardinal directions, and can also be mirrored, allowing for many different placement configurations. Cabinets will connect to cabinets below them, as long as they are facing the same direction and have the same mirror state.

If left outside in the rain, liquid barrels will slowly collect water, but only if they are empty or contain water already.
Rustic Mod Features 18
Armor HUD
When Rustic is installed, the vanilla armor HUD is modified. It is allowed to extend into a second row if necessary (further rows will never be used unless you are using mods that extend vanilla’s limit on the player’s armor stat, which is 40). Additionally, when the player’s armor toughness stat is greater than zero, an extra HUD element will appear above the food meter to display the exact armor toughness stat. Each Half shield is equivalent to one unit of toughness. The toughness bar will only ever take up a maximum of two rows (further rows are not possible unless you are using mods that extend vanilla’s limit on armor toughness, which is 30).
Both the extra armor rows and the armor toughness bar can be individually disabled in the mod’s config file.
Rustic Mod Features 19
Crushing Tub
Crushing Tubs can be made with any wooden planks, any wooden slabs, and iron. They are used to crush solids into liquids. They can hold up to one stack of items, and up to eight buckets of liquid. All recipes should be visible in JEI.
Usage:
  • To use a crushing tub, place it in the world. Then, insert items into it by right-clicking the block with items in hand. Remove items by right-clicking with an empty hand. Once a tub has items inside, if the items are a valid recipe, jumping on the tub will crush the items into their corresponding fluid, one at a time. If the tub is too full of fluid, crushing will not occur. You will be alerted when crushing is successful with a squishing sound, as well as the appearance of fluid in the tub, and the disappearance of items in the tub. If necessary, you can void all fluid contained in the tub by shift-right-clicking the block with an empty hand.
  • Some crushing tub recipes produce both fluid and items. If a recipe has an item byproduct, then the item will appear as an entity in the world above the tub when crushing occurs.
Rustic Mod Features 20
Evaporating Basin
Evaporating Basins can be made with hardened clay. They are used to extract items from fluids through evaporation. They can hold up to one stack of items, and up to six buckets of liquid. All recipes should be visible in JEI.
Usage:
  • To use an evaporation basin, place it in the world. Then, insert fluid into it by right-clicking the block with a filled bucket. Remove fluid by right-clicking the block with an empty bucket, or by shift-right-clicking the basin with an empty hand. Crafting will occur automatically over time. Fluid in the basin evaporates at a rate of 1mb/tick, or 0.02 buckets/second. Once enough fluid has evaporated to form a valid recipe, the output will appear in the basin, assuming there is space in the basin’s inventory. Items can be extracted by right-clicking the basin with an empty hand.
Rustic Mod Features 21
Bees
Bees can be found in beehives throughout the world, and can be used to produce honeycomb. Honeycomb can be smelted into beeswax, used in alchemy to make Elixers of Regeneration, or crushed into honey, which can be drank or brewed into mead.
Beehives: Beehives generate under leaves in the overworld. When broken, they drop 0-4 honeycomb and 1-2 bees. Their frequency can be changed in the mod’s config file.
Rustic Mod Features 22
Apiaries: Apiaries are wooden constructions that house bees. Their inventories have two slots; one for bees, and another for honeycomb.
Rustic Mod Features 23
When one or more bees are placed in the top slot of the apiary, the bees will do three things:
  • Reproduce
  • Produce honeycomb
  • Speed up nearby crop growth
By default, bees reproduce at half the rate at which they produce honeycomb, and the rate at which they do both of those things depends on the number of bees in the apiary. More bees means faster bee reproduction and faster honeycomb production.
The crop growth boost’s effect is also reliant on the number of bees in the apiary. The range of the effect is four blocks in each direction horizontally, as well as 1 block in each direction vertically.
The rates at which bees reproduce, produce honeycomb, and boost crop growth can all be changed separately in the mod’s config file.
Rustic Mod Features 24
Fertile Soil
Fertile Soil can be crafted with dirt and bone meal. It acts like vanilla farmland, but it doesn’t require water to stay hydrated, it can’t be trampled, and sugar cane can grow on it without an adjacent water block.
Rustic Mod Features 25
Crop Stakes
Crop Stakes can be made with any wooden planks. They are used in the cultivation of chili peppers and tomatoes. Ropes can also be tied to crop stakes.
Rustic Mod Features 26
Olives
Olives are the fruit of olive trees. They can be used to make olive oil.
  • Olive Trees: Olive Trees generate naturally in the overworld in forests, plains, and mountains. They do not generate in places where it can snow. The logs can be crafted into olive wood planks, which can be used to make olive wood variants of stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, tables, and chairs. Olive leaves drop olive saplings and olives.
  • Olives: Olives can be eaten, but they are not very nutritious, and they inflict the player with nausea. It is better to crush them into Olive Oil.
  • Olive Oil: Olive Oil can be drank, if stored in a bottle, but it inflicts the player with nausea. It is better to craft olive oil bottles with any food item, from vanilla or mods, to give the food item the “Olive Oiled” trait. Foods with this trait fill two extra hunger points (1 shank) when eaten, and they are also more saturating. Foods with the “Olive Oiled” trait are stackable, but not with un-oiled foods.
Rustic Mod Features 27
Ironberries
Ironberries are the fruit of ironwood trees. They can be used in alchemy, or processed into iron.
  • Ironwood Trees: Ironwood Trees generate naturally in the overworld in forests, plains, mountains, swamps, and jungles. They do not generate in dry biomes. The logs can be crafted into ironwood planks, which can be used to make ironwood variants of stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, tables, and chairs. Ironwood leaves drop ironwood saplings and ironberries.
  • Ironberries: Ironberries can be eaten, but they are not very nutricious, and they inflict paralysis onto the player. It is better to crush them into ironberry juice, or use them in alchemy to make Elixers of Ironskin.
  • Ironberry Juice: Ironberry Juice can be drank, if stored in a bottle, but it inflicts paralysis onto the player. It is better to evaporate the juice to get tiny piles of iron dust, or brew the juice into iron wine.
Rustic Mod Features 28
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are the fruit of tomato plants, which can be grown on crop stakes. Tomato seeds can be found by breaking tall grass, and can be planted by right-clicking on a crop stake with the seeds in hand. The seeds can only be planted on crop stakes that are above farmland or fertile soil. Tomato seeds will then grow into vines, which will eventually grow tomatoes. Tomato vines can grow upwards onto crop stakes, but only to a height of three blocks tall. Tomatoes can be harvested from fully grown tomato vines by right-clicking the vine blocks, or by breaking the vine. It is better not to break the vine, however, because broken vines will have to grow back before producing more tomatoes. Tomatoes can be eaten, but they can also be thrown like snowballs. Living entities hit with thrown tomatoes will be inflicted with the “Shame” debuff, which spawns tomato particles around the affected entity.
Rustic Mod Features 29
Chili Peppers
Chili Peppers are the fruit of chili pepper plants, which can be grown on crop stakes. Chili Pepper seeds can be found by breaking tall grass, and can be planted by right-clicking on a crop stake with the seeds in hand. The seeds can only be planted on crop stakes that are above farmland or fertile soil. When mature, chili pepper plants produce chili peppers. When the plant has chili peppers, it can also grow upward onto crop stakes, but only up to a height of 2 blocks tall. Chili peppers can be harvested from mature plants by right-clicking or breaking the plant. It is better not to break the plant, as broken plants will need to regrow before bearing more chili peppers. Chili peppers can be eaten, but will deal a half heart of fire damage. They also give a short buff to the player’s speed. Chili peppers can also be used in alchemy to make Elixers of Blazing Trail.
Rustic Mod Features 30
Apple Trees
Apple Trees can be grown from apple saplings, which can be grown from apple seeds, which can be obtained by crushing apples. Apple trees are made of oak logs and apple leaves. Apple leaves slowly grow apples inside of themselves if they are exposed to air on the bottom or any sides on the horizontal axis. Fully grown apples can be harvested from apple leaves by either right-clicking or breaking the leaf. It is better not to break leaves, as leaves will not regrow. Apple leaves drop apple saplings, as well as apples, so long as they contain fully grown apples when destroyed.
Rustic Mod Features 31
Grapes
Grapes are the fruit of grape vines. They can be eaten, or made into grape juice.
  • Grape Vines: Grape Vines are grown with grape seeds (which are obtained by breaking vanilla vines) on farmland or fertile soil. Grape seeds grow into grape stems, which, if they have horizontal ropes above them, grow onto the ropes, forming vines. The vines then spread one block outward along the axis of the rope, so long as there is rope to grow onto. The outer vines will grow grapes if the block beneath them is air. Grapes can be harvested from grape vines by right-clicking or breaking fully grown vines. It is better not to break the vine, as broken vines must regrow before producing more grapes.
  • Grapes: Grapes can be eaten, and they take half as long to eat as normal foods. Grapes can also be crushed into Grape Juice.
  • Grape Juice: Bottled Grape Juice can be drank, or brewed into wine.
Rustic Mod Features 32
Wildberries
Wildberries are the fruit of wildberry bushes. They can be eaten, or used to make wildberry juice.
  • Wildberry bushes: Wildberry bushes spawn naturally throughout the overworld in many climates. They do not spawn in sandy biomes, savannas, mesas, cold biomes, snowy biomes, mushroom biomes, dead biomes, or wasteland biomes. The spawn frequency of wildberry bushes can be adjusted in the mod’s config file. Wildberries can be harvested from fully grown bushes by simply right-clicking the bush. Breaking the bush also works, but then the bush must be replaced. Wildberry bushes naturally multiply under certain condition. They must be fully grown (have berries), and they must have fewer than two wildberry bushes within the eight surrounding blocks.
  • Wildberries: Wildberries can be eaten, but they are not very filling. However, they can be eaten faster than normal foods, and they grow very quickly. Wildberries can also be crushed into wildberry juice.
  • Wildberry Juice: Bottled Wildberry juice can be drank, filling a small amount of hunger and saturation with a chance of providing a regeneration buff, and a smaller chance of inflicting the poison debuff. Wildberry juice can also be brewed into wildberry wine.
Rustic Mod Features 33
Herbs
Herbs spawn naturally throughout the overworld and nether in a variety of different climates. Some Herbs are edible, and all herbs can be used in alchemy. The spawn frequency of herbs can be adjusted in the mod’s config file. Once found, herbs can be planted and regrown.

Rustic Mod Features 34
Alchemy
Alchemy is the process of brewing elixirs in condensers.
Basic Alchemy: Basic Alchemy is performed in a condenser. In order to operate, a condenser must have retorts on either side, both facing towards the condenser, so that the retorts’ tubes are attached to the condenser. Condensers can be made with bricks, white stained clay, and a bucket. Retorts can be made with bricks, iron, and a bucket.
Rustic Mod Features 35
The tank on the right side of the GUI is for water. The tank can be filled or emptied by right-clicking the block with buckets in hand, or by shift-right-clicking the block with an empty hand to void all contained fluid. The slot on the bottom middle of the GUI is for any fuel item that works in a furnace. The slot on the top right of the GUI is for glass bottles. The large slot below that is the output slot, where finished elixers appear. The two slots on the left of the GUI are for ingredients. Brewing is done by putting valid ingredients into the ingredient slots, and supplying the condenser with enough fuel, water, and bottles to brew.
Rustic Mod Features 36
Advanced Alchemy: Advanced Alchemy is performed in an advanced condenser. In order to operate, an advanced condenser must have advanced retorts on all three sides other than the front, all facing towards the advanced condenser, so that the retorts’ tubes are attached to the condenser. Condensers can be made with nether bricks, an iron block, and a bucket. Retorts can be made with nether bricks, iron, and a bucket.
Rustic Mod Features 37
The tank on the right side of the GUI is for water. The tank can be filled or emptied by right-clicking the block with buckets in hand, or by shift-right-clicking the block with an empty hand to void all contained fluid. The slot on the bottom middle of the GUI is for any fuel item that works in a furnace. The slot on the top right of the GUI is for glass bottles. The large slot below that is the output slot, where finished elixers appear. The slot on the top middle of the GUI is for modifiers. The three slots on the left of the GUI are for ingredients. Brewing is done by putting valid ingredients into the ingredient slots, optionally putting a valid modifier into the modifier slot, and supplying the advanced condenser with enough fuel, water, and bottles to brew.
Rustic Mod Features 38

Brewing
Brewing is the process of fermenting liquids. Brewing is done in a brewing barrel.
Brewing Barrel: Brewing Barrels can be made with any wood planks, any wood slabs, and iron. Brewing barrels’ GUIs have three tanks, one for input, one for output, and one for culture booze.
Rustic Mod Features 39
The slot above each tank is for fluid-holding items, like buckets or bottles, which will be used for inputting and outputting through each respective tank. The slot below each tank is where the result from any fluid interactions between the tank and the items in the matching upper slot are returned. The middle tank is the input tank, for unfermented fluids. The right-hand tank is the output tank, where fermented fluids appear. The small tank on the left is for culture booze, which is fermented fluid that can significantly reduce the randomness of the quality of the output.
Rustic Mod Features 40
Usage:
To use the brewing barrel, simply fill the input tank with a valid fluid. The amount of fluid you insert doesn’t matter for the recipe, it simply determines how much fluid will the recipe will return. The brewing process will begin automatically once a valid recipe is entered, and will take half of a Minecraft day to complete. The resulting fluid (assuming it is booze, which by default all recipe outputs are) will have been assigned a random quality between 0.05 and 0.75. Low quality booze will inflict annoying or even harmful debuffs when drank. If you get booze with a quality less than 0.5, it is best to simply discard the booze and try again. Once you’ve acquired booze of a sufficient quality, you can insert that booze into the culture booze tank of the barrel before making your next batch of the same type of booze. This will greatly reduce the randomness of the output’s quality, guaranteeing that the output will have a quality no less than the culture booze’s quality – 0.01, and no greater than the culture boozes quality + 0.04. For example, brewing wine from grape juice while wine with a quality of 0.7 is in the culture booze tank will output wine with a quality between 0.69 and 0.74. Culture booze is not consumed in the brewing process.
Booze
Booze can be acquired by brewing various fluids in a brewing barrel. Booze brewed in a brewing barrel should have a quality value between 0 and 1. Drinking booze with a quality less than 0.5 will give terrible results, with the severity of the effects depending on how low the quality was. Drinking booze with a quality of at least 0.5 will give positive results, with the strength of the results dependent on the quality of the booze. Some effects, like absorption from iron wine, may not be very noticeable if you drink booze with a quality just barely above 0.5. In the case of absorption, low qualities increase the number of hearts by values lower than 1, so it can take multiple drinks to get even half a heart. The solution is to just brew better booze.
Inebriation
Drinking any booze has a chance to inebriate you, no matter the quality of the booze. Continuing to drink while inebriated can increase the length and severity of the effect. At levels one and two, inebriation does nothing. At level three, the you will be constantly inflicted with nausea and slowness. At level 4 and above, you will constantly be inflicted with nausea II, slowness II, and blindness. Inebriation cannot be cured by drinking milk. Instead, you can drink water to reduce the length of the effect. Drinking water also has a chance to reduce the severity of the effect.
Types
  • Ale
    • Very saturating, applies the full stomach effect
  • Cider
    • Applies the magic resistance effect
  • Iron Wine
    • Adds absorption hearts to the player with no time limit up to ten extra hearts
