wastped
by Kuwma
WastPED adds a separate wasteland dimension for Forge 1.20.1, a harsh desert world built for long-term survival and tied to the MyPED story.
What it does
The dimension is a thirst-driven desert of mesas, salt fields, crystal deserts and abandoned cities, with crashed ships and stations scattered through the western-styled terrain. Caves in this world never contain ores, so progress depends on combing ruins and wrecks for scarce materials and rare loot. Quests handed out by characters in the world follow the main storyline and reveal the secret of Nova.
Dynamic winds and sandstorms, biome music, visual effects, a floating dialogue system and a custom animated main menu give the mod its atmosphere. Players can enable an automatic spawn option so they remain in the dimension permanently. The mod needs no other mod, is published for Forge only, and is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its only published build targets 1.20.1.
Key features
Separate wasteland dimension
A dedicated dimension with several hot biomes, built around long-term survival rather than a single area.
Ruins and loot
Crashed ships, stations and abandoned cities hold rare loot, and the caves contain no ores, so resources come from exploration.
Story quests
Quests follow the main storyline and uncover the secret of Nova, a crystal planet visible by day and night.
Sandstorms and atmosphere
Dynamic winds, sandstorms, biome music and visual effects set the tone of the desert.
Food and water rules
Players hold food in both hands to apply salt, and entering water no longer lets the player drink.
