Wasteland Wanderer | Fallout
by RyDaCol
Wasteland Wanderer turns Minecraft into a Fallout-themed survival game, with power armor, ghouls, deathclaws, Stimpaks and a Pip-Boy, built for players who want the Fallout world in Minecraft.
What it does
The mod adds a large set of Fallout items, armor, mobs, structures and biomes to Minecraft Survival, and tries to keep the Minecraft feel while changing the game into a wasteland setting. Its own story, characters and locations reuse some elements of the existing Fallout lore. A working Pip-Boy inventory with a minimap and a T-51 Power Armor with fusion core abilities are among the main pieces, along with 10mm pistol ammo and consumables such as Nuka-Cola, Stimpaks, Radaway and syringes.
Two game rules control the difficulty. VATS is a gamerule for the targeting system, and the Full Harsh Wasteland Survival gamerule turns on the harsher survival mode. In later versions that gamerule defaults to off, and the author states the hard mode is intended for hardcore worlds only. The Wastelandstart gamerule is recommended set to true for the intended experience, and the author suggests pairing the mod with the Fallout Radio texture pack for the Pip-Boy.
Wasteland Wanderer requires the Forge or NeoForge loader and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for 1.20.1 only. The optional ArmorWeight and Health Indicator TXF mods add extra features. The license is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source. It was first published on 2025-03-20 and last updated on 2026-05-15.
