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.

Key features

  1. Power armor and fusion core

    The T-51 Power Armor comes with fusion core abilities that set it apart from ordinary armor.

  2. Ghouls and deathclaws

    Player ghouls come in feral and non-feral forms, and two deathclaw versions add tougher wasteland mobs.

  3. Pip-Boy with minimap

    The Pip-Boy provides a working inventory screen and a minimap for navigating the wasteland.

  4. Wasteland survival items

    Nuka-Cola, Stimpaks, Radaway, syringes, pincers and 10mm pistol ammo give players healing and gear suited to the setting.

  5. Adjustable difficulty

    The VATS and harsh survival gamerules change how combat and survival behave, and the hard mode is off by default in later versions.

What the author says

(Formally known as RyDaCol's Fallout Mod) It is recommended to play with the Wastelandstart gamerule set to true, to be able to experience the mod in the intended way! (Versions past 1.3.0 will have this gamerule on by default)
