About this Mod
📖 About
Surface Geodes is a vanilla-friendly exploration mod that adds crystal geodes, new resources, tools, decorative blocks, and structures to Minecraft.
Crystal geodes generate naturally across the world and can be broken using special hammers to obtain valuable crystals, shards, and crafting materials. These materials can be processed into Crystal Powder using the Geode Crusher and used to craft Crystal Dusted tools that are stronger than iron tools but weaker than diamond tools.
The mod also expands building possibilities with crystal-themed decorative blocks and structures that blend naturally into the Minecraft world.
