Auto-Grotto
Outputs accurate grotto coordinates for Crystal Hollows routing.
About this Mod
GrottoHelper is a powerful utility mod for Minecraft Skyblock (1.8.9, Forge), designed to make finding and navigating grottos faster, easier, and more efficient. It enhances gameplay without altering the core mechanics of the game, giving you the authentic Skyblock experience while saving time and effort.
Unlike other automation or utility mods, GrottoHelper integrates seamlessly with Forge clients and most Skyblock tools, letting you focus on gameplay rather than hunting hidden grottos.
