# From the Desert Comes a Geode
* Added Lapis Lazuli geodes
- They only generate in deserts
- Lapis geodes have a middle layer of Pyrite
* Added Lapis Crystal Block
* Added Budding Lapis
* Added Lapis Clusters and Buds
- Small Lapis Buds drop a Pyrite Chunk when mined, which can be used to craft Pyrite blocks.
- Medium and Large Lapis Buds drop some Lapis Lazuli, but Lapis Clusters drop the most
* Added Pyrite
- Try bartering it with a Piglin!
* Added Pyrite Stairs, Slab, and Wall
* Added Pyrite Chunk
- Used to craft the Pyrite block
* Added Calcite Stairs, Slab, and Wall to go with Pyrite
* Added Gypsum Patches
- Gypsum Patches are found in deserts and badlands
- These 'patches' are a similar idea to geodes, expect they only generate on the surface
* Added Gypsum Crystal Block and Budding Gypsum
- Unlike other Budding blocks, Budding Gypsum only grows crystals upwards. However, Gypsum Crystals can still be placed in any direction
* Added Small Medium Gypsum Buds
* Added Large Gypsum Bud and Gypsum Rose
- These blocks are the double tall crystals, like Tall Grass, but can still be placed in any direction
* Added Gypsum Shard
- Can be used in composting or to craft Sand
* All items have been moved into a dedicated creative inventory tab called "More Geodes"
* Renamed the blocks Emerald Geode, Quartz Geode, and Diamond Geode to Emerald Crystal Block, Quartz Crystal Block, and Diamond Crystal Block respectively
- The IDs for these blocks have NOT changed, only their translation
- However, the IDs *will* be updated in Minecraft 1.20 to reflect the new names
* Collapsed all Echo Locator variants into a single Echo Locator
- The previous Echo Locator variants still exist, but are not accessible and will now drop the new Echo Locator when mined
- The variants will be removed in Minecraft 1.20
- The Echo Locator can now find any block with the tag `geodes:echo_locatable`, making it more easily integrated into mod packs. The mod natively supports crystals from Geode+ and Spectrum.
* Diamond Geodes middle layer is now 25% deepslate coal ore instead of 75%
* Diamond Geodes generate more commonly
* Updated Chinese translations by LimonBlaze ([#23](https://github.com/TheDeathlyCow/more-geodes/pull/23))
## Update: Hotfix 1.6.1
* Fixed an issue where large crystal clusters could grow their head block through any block
* Added loot tables and crafting recipes for Lapis Lazuli Crystal Block and Budding Lapis Lazuli
