NukaCraft: Fallout mod
by jetug
NukaCraft: Fallout brings the Fallout universe into Minecraft, with power armor, weapons, wasteland creatures and a radiation system for survival worlds.
What it does
Players can explore a Fallout-based setting in which wasteland creatures, weapons and power armor appear in the world. Radiation affects a player over time, so survival play has an added hazard to manage. The mod is intended for creating a world with the Wasteland world type, which is needed to generate its biomes.
NukaCraft is published for Forge and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, with files for 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Compatibility with CuriosAPI is included. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. The latest Forge file is 1.19.8-alpha for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.19.10-alpha for 1.21.1, both on the alpha channel.
Key features
Power armor
Power armor is added as equipment for players who want heavier protection in hostile areas.
Radiation system
A radiation mechanic tracks exposure in the wasteland, so travel and survival carry an extra cost.
Fallout-themed weapons
Weapons drawn from the Fallout games are available to use against the wasteland's creatures.
Wasteland creatures
Hostile creatures native to the wasteland populate the biomes the mod generates.

Use cases
Survival wasteland worlds
Worlds created with the Wasteland world type let players explore the generated biomes and face radiation and hostile creatures.
Who it’s for: Players who want a Fallout-themed survival experience, and server owners who run wasteland worlds for several players. Because the mod is in alpha, it suits testing rather than long-running worlds.
