With the addition of copper in 1.17, there is now a sufficient amount of metal in Minecraft to make a themed dimension. This pack adds that dimension to your world; it can be visited via an included new portal, or with the good ol' execute:
/execute in custom:aes run tp ~ ~ ~To create your portal from the Overworld to Aes or vice versa, create a standard-sized nether portal frame with Blocks of Iron, and dump a bucket of lava into the frame to activate it.
Aes is a totally metallic landscape - the surface is covered with Weathered Copper, over layers of regular Copper underneath. This allows for an effect very similar to grass and dirt - the top layer is green, and when its blocks are broken, reddish-brown blocks are exposed underneath (that become green over time!). As well, the water in Aes is a rich, gleaming copper color instead of blue.
The local 'vegetation' consists of:
•piles of iron blocks and iron bars
•what look like 'growths' of iron bars in scattered patches
•more 'growths' of copper in various stages of weathering for variety
•very rare scattered gold block patches
You'll also rarely find massive cog structures that have generated on the surface, made of solid iron.
Ideally, I'd like to have them generate 'sunken into the ground' rather than totally sitting on top - but this is my first data pack, and I haven't figured out how to do that yet! They generate sunken halfway into the ground, which I've been able to accomplish with the help of some tips from
WilliamWythers.
It's a very cool place to explore (and mine, obviously). There is no day, no night, no weather, no pesky mobs or creatures - just you and all kinds of metal. Enjoy!
P.S.: The included resource pack is strongly recommended when using the data pack - it supplies the appearance of the fluid portal. Nothing else is really changed by the resource pack (meaning it will stack well with other packs you might want to use), however technically the copper block texture & 3 weathered stages of it were updated to remove the pesky bolts.

Survival is... dangerous lol
Is that right?
I feel like I've come a long way since this pack - my newest project, Minecraft: Master of Time and Space, incorporates teleportation to the ground level of certain dimensions. Once it's complete, I'll implement a similar change here.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to let me know about this issue and your experience :)
And another point: if map is reload for another datapack, the bug return!
[ERROR] Feature: Not a JSON object: "custom:iron_patch"
[ERROR] Feature: Not a JSON object: "custom:scrap_pile"
[ERROR] Feature: Not a JSON object: "custom:gold_patch"
[ERROR] Error loading registry data: No key Properties in MapLike[{"Name":"minecraft:iron_bars"}]
and a lot of errors upon entering the dimension
These errors occur when you try using the pack in 1.16 or earlier - Minecraft runs into instructions to add Amethyst Geodes and Copper Ore to many vanilla biomes, and does exactly what you described.
Best fix is to choose "latest snapshot" rather than "latest release" when launching Minecraft.
