Huge Minecraft Adventure Map Stars the Wonders of the Ancient World

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
Minecraft survival stuff, like crafting, finding food and building shelter—but there’s also a crapton of collectibles and side quests, making this a bit of an open-world RPG experience. Check out the list of features:

Two monuments to complete (28 blocks total; 15 optional)

Customized bosses, minions, hostile mobs, tamable mobs, mob gangs, and villagers

Customized dungeons, temples, villages, and loot

Side quests, moral choices, and NPC tasks

Customized and unique items, potions, and enchantments

Spirit Stones (13 total) that give temporary buffs

A Fast Travel system, Spawn settings, and optional random location teleports

Legendary weapons, tools, and armor

Dozens and dozens of armor sets

Triggered events, XP gains, dialogues, and game rules

Experience shops and customized villager trading

Command block-powered fluidity (no mods needed!)

Open world freedom and random encounters

Customized terrain

To-scale Ancient Wonders of the World!

If you’re interested,
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.
