Twelve world wonders, strewn across a massive landmass, all overrun with monsters. And it’s your job to clear them out, of course.
Wayward Wonders is a CTM or Complete The Monument map, meaning that the objective is to collect blocks—in this case, by defeating the monsters at each of the dozen world wonders, seen below:
The “main quest” involves collecting twelve blocks from the wonders and a thirteenth one from the final boss—all the while dealing with the usual

visit Wayward Wonders’ official thread on the Minecraft Forum for the download. It’s relatively large at 665MB, and as a result, loading times are a bit long as well, so expect some waiting time when you first head in-game.
