Crystallized
Crystallized, a Forge world generation mod for 1.20.1, adds crystal ore, crystal trees, custom biomes and dimensions, along with crystal tools, armor and crystal-themed building blocks.
What it does
Crystal ore is found underground at a low spawn chance, and deepslate crystal ore appears in deepslate layers. A crystal detector helps locate the ore. Crystal trees generate only inside the custom biomes, and they yield crystallized wood, planks, logs, stripped variants, leaves and saplings. Some items come from killing mobs or trading with villagers and wandering traders, which adds a progression route to the base game.
The mod also brings a recipe book that becomes available after the player obtains crystal shards and crystal ore. Crystallized fences, doors, trapdoors, pressure plates, stairs, slabs, walls and buttons are craftable, with solid doors and trapdoors opening only from redstone. A crystallizer converts ordinary items into crystallized versions. Crystallized was published for Forge only, as a single alpha build for 1.20.1, and the author notes that more content is still being added.
