Crystal Tools

This mod adds a new class of tools to Minecraft called crystal tools. They are meant to be a post-netherite tool that can keep getting better as you use it.

You can download the mod on Curse Forge, Modrinth, or from Github Releases.

Please report any bugs you find in the Issues tab or in the comments. You can also suggest features or ask questions there.

Blocks

• Crystal Ore
• Deepslate Crystal Ore
• Crystal Block
• Crystal Torch
  • Acts as a normal torch just with a different texture
  • These can be placed with an upgrade on some tools
• Crystal Furnace
• Crystal Generator
• Crystal Quarry
• Crystal Pedestal

World Generation

Ore

Deepslate Crystal Ore Generates Below Y -44 in veins of size 5. The ore generates very rarely, currently only about one vein per chunk.

Geode

There is a new type of Geode that spawns in the nether! Inside you can find Crystal Geodes, Netherite Infused Crystal Geodes, and rarely Ancient Debris.

Netherite Infused Crystal Geodes drop Netherite Infused Crystal Shards which are used to craft the Crystal Upgrade Smithing Template which is then used to upgrade netherite armor into crystal armor.

Tools

Tools gain experience by using them. You can see how much exp you need to get to the next level by looking at the tooltip. You can open the skill tree by pressing k by default. Skill points can be using to get a new skill or to fully repair your tool.

The following tools/armor pieces are implemented:

• Crystal Pickaxe
• Crystal Axe
• Crystal Shovel
• Crystal Hoe
• Crystal Sword
• Crystal AIOT (All In One Tool)

Datapack options

There are a couple of features that can be customized using datapacks.

  • Default Value: [minecraft:armor_stand]
• block/auto_output_blacklist: The Crystal Furnace and Crystal Quarry will not auto output to blocks with this tag.
  • Default Value: [minecraft:hopper]

More information on tags and datapacks can be found here.

Example

Add a file entity_blacklist.json in a datapack in the location crystal_tools/tags/entity_type that looks like:

{
  "values": [
    "minecraft:armor_stand"
  ]
}

Datamaps

• generator_gems: Controls the gems that can be burned with the gem generator upgrade in the crystal generator.
• generator_metals: Controls the gems that can be burned with the gem generator upgrade in the crystal generator.
• mob_heads: Controls which heads which mobs drop with the beheading upgrade.
• pedestal_actions: Controls which items have effects in the Crystal Pedestal

More information on datamaps can be found here.

Examples

Adding a modded gem

Add a file generator_gems.json in a datapack in the location crystal_tools/data_maps/item that looks like:

{
  "values": {
    "ae2:certus_quartz_crystal": {
      "bonusGeneration": 5,
      "burnTime": 1600
    }
  }
}

Where bonusGeneration is the generator added on top of the base from the generator and burnTime is the total burn time in ticks.

Changing the value of an existing gem

{
  "values": {
    "replace": true,
    "minecraft:diamond": {
      "bonusGeneration": 1000,
      "burnTime": 16000
    }
  }
}

Adding an item to the pedestal actions datamap

If you wanted to add another item that would work like a magnet in the pedestal you can add it like this:

{
  "values": {
    "minecraft:netherite_pickaxe": {
      "type": "magnet",
      "params": {
        "durabilityModifier": 3.0,
        "maxTickCounter": 1,
        "range": 2
      }
    }
  }
}

durabilityModifier changes how much durability the item uses when the action is used maxTickCounter determines how often the action should tick (1 means it will run every tick) range determines the base range of the magnet

Defining Custom Skill Trees

There are 2 parts to adding a skill tree: the actual skill tree and the datamap to associate it to an item.

Skill Tree

The skill trees are defined in json in a datapack registry. Built in examples can be found here: https://github.com/will-y/crystal-tools/tree/1.22/src/generated/resources/data/crystal_tools/crystal_tools/skill_trees

The built-in datapack has a skill tree defined for every crystal tool, along with a basic mining tool tree and a basic sword tree.

To build custom trees, place custom json files in the directory data/<datapack-namespace>/crystal_tools/skill_trees/items.

Skill Tree Datamap

To actually associate the tree with an item, you will need an entry in the skill tree datapack. This will go in the file data/crystal_tools/data_maps/item/skill_trees.json.

An example skill tree object looks like:

{
  "values": {
    "minecraft:netherite_pickaxe": {
      "allowRepair": false,
      "allowReset": false,
      "allowXpLevels": false,
      "treeLocation": "crystal_tools:simple_pickaxe"
    }
  }
}

Fields:

• treeLocation (required): The location of the skill tree. Either a built-in tree, or one provided in a datapack.
• baseExperienceModifier (default 0): Increases the amount of base experience the tool starts with.
• experienceScaling (default 1.0): Determines how fast tools will gain experience.
• allowRepair (default true): Will allow you to spend skill points to repair your tool.
• allowReset (default true): Will allow you to reset the skill points on a tool.
• allowXpLevels (default true): Will allow you to convert xp to skill points for this tool.
• allowMiningXp (default true): Will allow the tool to get experience from mining blocks.
• allowDamageXp (default true): Will allow the tool to get experience from attacking entities.

Removing Skill Trees From Items

To remove existing items, you can add this to your datapack:

{
  "remove": [
    "crystal_tools:crystal_pickaxe"
  ]
}
