More Geodes [UPDATE]

You do not need any experimental toggles to play this add-on!

With the addition of the amethyst geodes in the Caves & Cliffs update, adding new geodes felt like a natural extension. With this add-on, you can find geodes for many minerals present in the game.

This add-on adds 12 new geodes — diamond, emerald, gold, iron, coal, redstone, lapis lazuli, quartz, netherite, copper, rose quartz and echo — which are randomly generated throughout the world at the same heights as the original amethyst geodes. Quartz and netherite geodes can also be found in the Nether.

Features

Each geode contains two new blocks for its mineral, plus buds and clusters. One of the blocks is a budding block that generates sprouts. Buds can be collected with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch so players can take them back to base and farm ores. There are also crafting recipes for budding blocks and crystal blocks (including amethyst).

Examples of added geodes

Budding blocks

Each mineral has a budding block and a crystal block. Budding blocks generate buds/clusters over time; crystal blocks are produced from the ores and can appear inside geodes.

Crystal blocks

The crystal block for each ore can be collected by breaking geodes with a pickaxe.

Info

With Silk Touch you can obtain buds (small to clustered). Breaking clusters without Silk Touch yields the minerals provided by the geode.
