What is Rust?
Rust is a wilderness survival game inspired by games like Minecraft. Survive in a ever-changing "hostile environment where emergent gameplay can flourish" (Rust Wiki).

Thanks to Shockbyte's automatic Rust Oxide installation and support, you can easily expand the content or quality of life available on your Rust server by installing plugins such as the Backpacks mod!
