Wastelands of Baedoor
by toma400
Wastelands of Baedoor adds steampunk and wild-west content to Minecraft, with firearms, airships, new weapons and special blocks that keep areas free of mobs.
What it does
Players gain balanced guns and airships, including blimps used to take on gangs, and the mod is aimed at players who want the game to feel a little different at the edges without losing what makes it familiar. Special blocks can mark a zone as unspawnable, so the mobs in it are kept out while a player builds or farms there.
Several resources that were hard to obtain in vanilla can now be gathered through vanilla-friendly methods. Sand and calcite, for example, can be farmed, which gives the survival loop a renewable source of materials it otherwise lacks. The mod works on the Forge loader only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and requires BaedoorLib to run.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Wastelands of Baedoor is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public. The current build is version 0.ca1, published on 2023-09-21, after a first release on 2023-08-28.
Key features
Firearms and weapons
Guns and other new weapons are balanced against the vanilla combat options and mobs.
Airships and blimps
Airships can be built and flown, and blimps can be used to attack gangs in the world.
Unspawnable zones
A special block marks an area so that hostile mobs no longer spawn inside it.
Renewable resources
Resources that were previously impossible to farm, such as sand and calcite, can be gathered repeatedly.

Use cases
Protected building areas
A player can mark a base or farm as unspawnable so mobs do not interrupt construction or harvesting there.
Steampunk and western scenes
Players who build settlements in the wild-west or steampunk style can use the new guns, airships and blocks as set pieces.
Who it’s for: Players who want a steampunk and wild-west layer on Forge, and server owners who run a shared world on 1.20.1 with both sides on the same version of the mod.
