Desolate Wastes
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Have you ever wanted an original, near fully self-contained apocalypse mod? Well here is one! Desolate wastes plans to add multiple biomes, mobs, tools and items to survive and fix the ground zero that is the overworld. As of now 1 biome is semi-complete, the Dehydrated windlands, a desolate biome filled with irradiated creatures and mutants, where remains of other bunkers and labs lay to collect dust.
The mod is fairly simple as of now, I highly suggest using other mods with this one to make it both more survivable and fun to play, especially a texturepack that changes grass color.
This mod most likely wont be updated ever again, or at most not for a VERY long time. Sorry! Big thanks to TysonTheEmber for the recode!
To clarify for all those confused people out there RADIATION IS MENT TO AFFECT EVERYWHERE, AND SCRAPERS AND OTHER MUTANTS ARE SUPPOSED TO SPAWN IN OTHER BIOMES. I am baffled by the amount of people that are confused by this
