RuneCraft is a Bedrock addon that rebuilds survival as an MMORPG, taking heavy inspiration from Old School RuneScape and Ultima Online. This runecraft addon by Estrongel reworks core systems and adds items, structures, mobs and mechanics. It runs on Bedrock only and is played in your own world.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 26.20.
What it adds
- 13 skills, among them Agility, Prayer, Herblore, Thieving, Smithing and Fletching. Passive bonuses from skills like Constitution and Prayer stop at level 99, while levelling continues to 120 for vanity.
- Vanilla ore replaced by Tin, Copper, Iron, Mithril, Adamant and Rune, plus a new Gemstone ore. Ore appears in all three dimensions, with different densities in each.
- Strongholds of Security, Zamorak Temples, party hats, new music discs and secret mob heads.
- Potion Soaked Sponges that store an effect in a block, and a Fan block that pushes or pulls items and entities. Potion durations now stack up to 30 minutes.
- Crop disease and fertilised soil, a stamina system, a Noting Table and a stylised HUD.
- Hunger removed. Health restores passively and from food, and food stacks are reduced to 1.
Release 1.5.6 adds filters to the crafting menus and skill-based special effects for Smithing, Herblore and Fletching. It also brings new collectibles, the Ore Mimic, Ore Sensors, and Strays and Parched that spawn with bows.
Installation
Open the add-on file with Minecraft so it imports, then switch on its behavior and resource packs in your world's settings. Our install guide for Bedrock add-ons covers each platform, and the troubleshooting guide helps if packs do not appear. Estrongel also suggests pairing it with the Sounds of OSRS add-on for RuneScape music tracks.
The trade-off is depth. RuneCraft changes how you eat, heal, mine and craft, and it expects you to relearn survival. Treat it as a world-defining overhaul, not a light tweak. The wiki on Fandom documents ore rates, the HUD and skill mechanics.
How to apply RuneCraft to a world
Questions about RuneCraft.
3 questions
How do I install the RuneCraft addon on Bedrock?
Open the add-on file with Minecraft so it imports, then create or edit a world and enable the RuneCraft behavior and resource packs in its settings. Packs are switched on per world, so repeat this for each world where you want the overhaul.
Does RuneCraft work on Minecraft 26.40?
No. Minecraft 26.40 makes a temporary data-storage method used by the add-on read-only whenever a sound plays to a player, and this cannot be fixed from the add-on's side. It becomes playable again only after a bug-fix update or the 26.50 release.
Is hunger removed in RuneCraft?
Yes. Hunger is gone, and health restores passively and by eating food. Food stack sizes drop to 1, and a stamina system and a custom HUD take over much of the moment-to-moment survival feel.
