⚔️ Iourus Races
Forge your own identity in a medieval fantasy world where your race changes the way you play Minecraft.
Iourus Races is a fantasy RPG mod inspired by classic fantasy worlds and roleplaying systems. Instead of races being cosmetic only, every race comes with unique gameplay mechanics, strengths, weaknesses, and future progression paths that affect combat, exploration, crafting, and survival.
Designed for RPG and adventure modpacks, the mod aims to make each playthrough feel different depending on the race you choose.
🌍 Features 🧬 Playable Races
Choose between multiple fantasy races:
Human Elf Dwarf Orc Goblin
Each race has its own identity, gameplay advantages, and long-term design philosophy.

Every race includes passive bonuses and gameplay differences.
Current examples include:
