Geodes Expanded
by Dm4chado_
Geodes Expanded introduces new geode types, crystal materials, armor, tools and decorative blocks for players who explore underground in Minecraft.
What it does
The mod adds the Smoky Quartz Geode, the Citrine Geode and the Red Amethyst Geode to underground generation, each with its own crystal variants. Mining them yields rare crystals that can be crafted into new armor sets and tools, giving players a reason to dig further into caves.
Decorative blocks built from the new crystals let builders use them in bases and displays. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with a single release, 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, dated 2026-08-09. Because the environment is client and server, both the server and every player need it. It is not open source and is distributed under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Nether Geodes is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that uses a custom license and is not open source, so its geodes target the Nether instead of the underground. Surface Geodes is published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under All rights reserved and adds geodes on the surface rather than underground. Both are client and server mods like Geodes Expanded.
