Cursed Wastes

Cursed Wastes is a modification inspired by the idea of updating a biome similar to the Badlands. The project completely overhauls biome generation, introducing unique elements that make the barren lands more dynamic and immersive. Among the additions are new plants such as tall withered shrubs and tumbleweed, which enhance the harsh and abandoned atmosphere of the region.

In addition to vegetation, the mod adds new mobs, each with unique traits and behaviors, making exploration more engaging and dangerous. For those seeking fresh challenges, exclusive weapons have been introduced, allowing for diverse combat strategies and tactical approaches.

One of the standout features is the new recipe acquisition mechanic, which introduces an exploratory aspect to the game, adding depth and excitement to the gameplay. The mod not only includes new items but also enhances interactions with the environment, transforming Cursed Wastes into a truly unforgettable adventure.

Immerse yourself in this unforgiving world, filled with mysteries, new trials, and a unique atmosphere—all waiting for you in the Cursed Wastes mod.

Note: The mod is currently under development. Bug reports can be submitted in the dedicated channel on our Discord server.
