Features

- Emerald Geodes: Emerald geodes behave very similarly to amethyst geodes; they generate at high elevations throughout the Overworld, though they are most abundant in Mountain-type biomes. They are encased in calcite and smooth basalt casings underground and can grow emerald crystal buds. When these buds are harvested, they of course drop emeralds. This provides an automate-able alternative to emerald farming rather than just trading endlessly.

- Quartz Geodes: Quartz geodes are a little more special. While their growth mechanics are identical to amethyst and emerald geodes, they generate exclusively in The Nether, and with tuff instead of calcite. Their buds also have a special oscillator property. When powered with an external redstone signal, they will pulse on and off, emitting a signal like a redstone clock! The frequency of these pulses increases as the crystal grows.

- Diamond Geodes: Diamond geodes are best thought of as small goody boxes you will sometimes come across when mining. They have no budding block, so diamonds cannot be grown like in other geodes. They also only have one cluster type, which will drop 1 diamond when broken, scaling with fortune. Diamond geodes also generate flooded and with deepslate coal ore in place of calcite, as they are formed from carbon deposits in real life (and not in geodes, but hey its Minecraft).

- Lapis Lazuli Geodes: Generate frequently in deserts and at shallow depths elsewhere in the Overworld. They feature pyrite blocks and harvestable lapis crystals.

- Echo Geodes: Generate in the Deep Dark and produce renewable Echo Shards. Their echo blocks and crystals react to nearby sounds.
- Gypsum Roses: Large desert formations found on the surface of deserts and badlands. Harvest their shards, craft decorative blocks, or make a Crystal Locator.

Crystal Locators

The Crystal Locator helps find nearby crystal buds and clusters by making them glow briefly and play a sound. It can be tuned to different crystal types, including amethyst, emerald, quartz, lapis lazuli, diamond, and echo crystals.
