Abyssal Descent
Abyssal Descent adds a new dimension, the Abyss, reached through a portal and a dungeon, with many new blocks, items, ores and structures.
What it does
Players enter the Abyss to find the Abyssal Dungeon, which can be located by checking the flat walls seen in Mineshaft chests or by exploring around Y=0. A portal room inside the dungeon always spawns, and it gives the Abyssal Lighter, which is crafted at a Smithing Table using a template from a chest, an iron ingot and a diamond. The dimension holds several ores and resources not found in the overworld, including rainbow gem clusters in the Abyssal Plains that raise jump height when stood on.
The new content is organized by layer and biome. Common stone appears mostly between Y=-64 and Y=128, light blue stone between Y=-50 and Y=-200, and brownish stone in the deepest parts. Dark blue dirt grows Darksprouts and Abyss Irises, purple flowers yield purple dye, and the Lunar Forest biome has magenta wood. Some blocks have special behavior: a loot container raises an alarm for Depth Corruption blocks nearby when a thief takes an item, a block damages the player one step after being triggered, and a small mushroom drains one health from mobs that step on it.
The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge, installs on client and server together, and covers 1.20.1 and 1.21.4. Files are on 1.20.1 and 1.21.4, with v1.3.1 the latest Forge build and 1.2.0 the latest NeoForge build. Abyssal Descent is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

What the author says
This mod adds a new dimension with many new and unique resources. In order to enter the Abyss, you are going to have to find the Abyssal Dungeon. You can either look for an explorer map in Mineshaft Chests or just look for a suspiciously flat wall inside of a cave around Y=0.
