Ancient Wastes

Ancient Wastes

A forgotten civilization. A land consumed by decay. An ancient world waiting to be rediscovered.

Ancient Wastes is an exploration and adventure mod that expands Minecraft with a mysterious, desolate region filled with corrupted landscapes, enormous ruins, unusual creatures and forgotten technologies.

Travel through the remnants of an ancient civilization, explore abandoned settlements, uncover hidden secrets and discover materials that allow you to craft new equipment and machinery.

The Wastes hold many secrets. Not all of them are meant to be uncovered.

🌑 NEW BIOMES

Discover 6 unique biomes, each with its own terrain, vegetation and atmosphere:

• Scorched Wastes – vast stretches of barren, scorched land.

• Scorched Outskirts – the outer reaches of the ancient wasteland.

• Scorched Peaks – rugged mountains rising above the desolate landscape.

• Withered Thicket – a strange forest of twisted, lifeless vegetation.

• Dying Lands – corrupted terrain where nature struggles to survive.

• Ashen Shallows – mysterious waters surrounded by the remains of a dying world.

Explore unusual plants, glowing fungi, corrupted vegetation and forgotten natural formations.

Discover:
