Resource Geodes & Catalysts

## Resource Geodes & Catalysts 100% Dependency Free as of Version 0.3.0. **Resource Geodes** is a powerful modpack-focused addon that introduces **renewable resource generation** through configurable catalyst blocks — all deeply integrated with **JEI** and **Jade** for a polished player experience. At its core are **Catalysts** — unique blocks inspired by the Ore Stone variants from the Create mod. These blocks are found **embedded in geode-like structures underground**, and when **activated**, they generate valuable resources like ores or modded materials. > Now supporting **vanilla items as custom agitators**, **full datapack-driven configuration**, and **tiered progression**! *** ### Catalyst Types * Fully Data Driven, unlimited catalyst types (read the wiki) * What they generate * Activation requirements * Cooldown and shape behavior * Agitators required to activate them **See full examples and schema:** (https://github.com/darklotus781/create-resource-geodes/wiki) *** ### Catalyst Activation Catalysts can be activated in two ways: #### Tier-Based Agitators Use a **Catalyst Agitator** item (Tier 1–4) that meets or exceeds the catalyst's required tier. #### Custom Item Agitators Define any **vanilla or modded item** (e.g., `minecraft:gunpowder`) as the required agitator via JSON — no custom item class needed. > Tier and custom agitator systems are **mutually exclusive per catalyst**. Catalysts regenerate resources in customizable **spheres or cubes**, using a cooldown system and visual feedback. *** ### Crafting & Tools * **Catalyst Core**: A craftable item used to create catalysts if enabled. Default recipes are included but can be overridden with KubeJS or datapacks. * **Catalyst Agitator**: A special item used to **activate catalysts** and trigger resource generation. Comes in **four tiers**, with only Tier 1 having a default recipe. Higher tiers can be defined and gated via modpack progression. * **Catalyst Activator Wand**: A handheld tool that **teleports catalysts** to nearby valid locations or if it was player placed, can make it drop as an item (break mode). The default recipe requires two shafts and a gem which are found in **Mineshaft** chest and as a drop from the **Warden**. You may also find a full wand in **End City Treasure**. The **Wandering Trader** may also sell some items. *** ### Modpack-Friendly Features Built for modpack creators: * **Fully data-driven** via JSON * **JEI & Jade integration** out of the box * **Custom item support** for vanilla/modded agitators * **Tunable cooldowns, shapes, density, and sounds** Everything from activation logic to structure generation is configurable. *** <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/iaqc0Oab4-4" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> *** ### 💬 Need Help?
