Scrap Tech Workshop

by Kaworru

Scrap Tech Workshop adds a post-apocalyptic technology line in which players gather scrap, assemble improvised power cells and build machinery from salvaged parts.

What it does

Players hunt down scattered scrap piles, salvage worn parts and craft a battery-powered multitool that acts as a pickaxe or shovel depending on the block. Scrap piles come in four size variants and in mixed metal types, and a right-click harvests or breaks them. Some piles can decay over time, and processing machines turn collected items into scrap outputs whose state a comparator can read as an analog signal.

The mod fits a play loop of exploring, scavenging, assembling, recycling and expanding, and it suits players who want a slower start that grows into a small industry. Energy cells are removable, rechargeable items whose appearance shows their charge. Collector Station and Scrap Robot automate scrap collection in an area and interact with HoloCube holo-logs, which display data about the technology and lore features.

Scrap Tech Workshop runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is a required dependency. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and Quilt for Minecraft 1.20.1, released under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.

    Removable, rechargeable cells power the multitool and other devices, and their look reflects the charge they hold.

  4. Collector Station and Scrap Robot

    Automated collection covers a set area, and the station reads and displays HoloCube holo-logs.
