Create: Molten Geodes
by Apothicon
Molten Geodes adds geodes that hold dormant orestones, which a player activates with TNT to turn nearby lava into molten ore.
What it does
Geodes generate in the world and contain dormant orestones of four kinds: Veridium, Asurine, Crimsite and Ochrum. Placing TNT directly above a dormant orestone activates it, and the explosion leaves a visual debris texture block. Contact between the molten orestone and lava then converts that lava into the corresponding orestone, giving a steady source of ore for the Create mod's machinery.
The Brass Geode is rarer and contains both Veridium and Asurine orestones, which are the two materials needed to craft brass in Create. The mod includes several configurable options, so server owners can adjust the generation and conversion to suit their playstyle. Molten Vents are added as well. The mod runs on Forge for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, and it needs Create to function.
Because the geodes generate floating ocean in new worlds, the mod makes oceans noticeably deeper, so a world created with it differs from a vanilla one. Adjusting the configuration is the way to change that. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code. A Minecraft server is required for multiplayer use.
Key features
Renewable orestones
Lava near an activated molten orestone converts into the matching ore, so the supply renews without mining.
Four geode types
Veridium, Asurine, Crimsite and Ochrum geodes each hold their own orestone, plus a rare Brass Geode.
TNT activation
A dormant orestone is activated by placing TNT directly above it, with the explosion exposing the molten block.
Configurable generation
Several options in the configuration file control how the geodes and conversion behave on a server.
