Amethyst geodes
New underground structures consisting of three layers.
- The outer layer consists of smooth basalt
- The middle layer consists of calcite
- The inner hollow layer consists of blooming amethysts, amethyst blocks and buds
Amethysts
Amethysts grow on either side of a blooming amethyst. Include 4 stages of growth:
- Amethyst bud is the first three stages of growth
- The amethyst cluster is the fourth and last stage of the growth of the amethyst bud
An amethyst cluster can be mined with an iron pickaxe or better. It drops 4 amethyst shards or more if the corresponding tool is enchanted with a good luck charm.
Spyglass
Allows to view objects in the distance.
- A spyglass can be created from copper ingots and an amethyst fragment
- While using the telescope, the player's movement slows down
- The "Spyglass Damping" option has been added to the game settings in the "Keyboard and Mouse" section, which allows you to adjust the rotation speed with a telescope
Crude ore
Iron, copper and gold ores have been remade and now raw metals are falling out of them. Raw metals can be melted in a furnace.
- Blocks of unprocessed metals have been added: unprocessed copper, unprocessed iron and unprocessed gold
- Now, instead of blocks, raw metals fall out of the ores, which can be melted in the furnace, as before
- Ore blocks will still be able to be melted down and this means that you will still be able to melt ore from the old worlds
Tuf
A new block generated at a value below Y = 16 in the dungeons, which can be extracted with a pickaxe.
Tinted glass
A new glass block that does not let in rays of light. Mobs cannot see the player through such a glass.
