To start, this mod provides a very unique dimension which executes a style i havent really seen before in a minecraft mod (atleast in modern versions). Though there are some very visible issues such as having issues with map mods due to no blocks having any assigned map colors, along with the scrapyard mud block taking up even the deepest parts of the underground which doesnt really make that much sense.

In terms of atmosphere and the general feeling, its absolutely amazing and everything was just done so well, the sounds, the visuals, the mobs even and the dark degraded colors of it all just makes it fit perfectly together and it creates this really great feeling.

For gameplay though, is where its issues can really be seen, there arent that many items and blocks to start off with, and every item except for the building blocks have only like 1 or 2 uses. both the 'Survey' and 'Utility' mobs seem to be hostile but are incredibly easy to avoid, along with their drops needed for specific things being super low for some reason. There isn't much greater progression than creating a Scrap Reactor which doesnt really do much though did have a planned greater use which never ended up happening.

So while its good in a lot of ways, the standalone gameplay isn't that interesting, though the mod was abandoned at a very early stage of its development, and most of its issues can be fixed through a combination of kubejs, structurify, and incontrol.

Overall a nice mod that really shouldn't have been abandoned so early.

The Abandoned World is a dimension forsaken by its former guardians. The land is filled with scrap and decaying waste, leaving only remnants of forgotten machinery, rotting plants, and mutated creatures to walk the renounced lands.


Tutorial:

Finding The Dimension

Found in the caves (y-30 to y-10) of Deep Darks, Frozen Peaks, Jagged Peaks, or Stony Peaks biomes, The Abandoned World Overworld entrance can be found. From there, use the low-durability lighter to light the portal. Be sure to clear the portal of any sculk vines if you are in the deep dark, or you'll waste the lighter and have to find a new one.

Crafting

Many materials can be garnered by slaying machines or looting chests, the most important of the materials being the Power Core, used to craft a majority of the more exotic items. As for the crafting recipes, I'd recommend the use of JEI for an easier time.  

Scrap Sword

The Scrap Sword is a high-damage, efficient blade crafted from the propellors of The Survey and a Scrap Rod.

Scrap Reactor

Using a cacophony of materials found within the dimension, you can craft a Scrap Reactor. Using the Forgotten Lighter or a regular flint and steel, you can overload the reactor and cause it to detonate. The reactor's explosion is 30x more powerful than TNT, so be sure to have an exit plan! 

Scrap Gun

Alongside the reactor, a powerful item is the Scrap Gun. Using fire charges, you can fire powerful blaze-like projectiles to ignite your foes.


Roadmap

- Large procedural structure w/ boss

- Craftable Machine, "Buddy"

- More collectible/useful items

- More biomes

- More mobs
