We already have a basalt block added to the game, but it's a special type of basalt, columnar basalt, so it's understandable why they didn’t use it for the geodes.Īll geodes and many large crystals grow in water so all of this would be filled with water, and the crystals grow from the outer walls in. These types of deposits generally do not have cavities in them. Sometimes they can be so hot they can still flow for a while. The ash can also have larger chunks of debris like in this picture I took in New Mexico USA. Tuff is a volcanic ash deposit.Ĭertain volcanoes produce lots of ash which can accumulate in layers. The Minecraft version has the tuff outer layer. When lava cools into basalt there can be gas bubbles that get trapped and leave holes, it's inside these holes that geodes can form. The Brazilian geodes form within cavities of basalt. They can be quite large, but obviously not as big as the Minecraft versions. I love that these were added and can’t wait to use them in builds.Īmethyst is a type of quartz and these new formations are inspired by amethyst geodes, which are common in Brazil. This isn’t meant to sound negative, just educational. Geologically, the presence of these materials together like this is inaccurate to real life. The geodes have layers from the outside in made of tuff, calcite, amethyst blocks, budding amethyst, on which the amethyst clusters grow. The new blocks are great and as a geologist it's exciting to see more real materials added to the game. (#spoiler) = neat! (/rose) = ( full list)Īmethyst geodes were added in the first 1.17 snapshot.
