This program helps find high density areas of geodes and budding amethyst in a given Minecraft world. It runs a search through each chunk within the search radius, and finds areas exceeding a given threshold of geodes within the random tick range. Then, it runs a simulation of geode feature generation, including budding amethysts, to filter out areas failing a budding amethyst threshold. Once complete, the program will return a list of coordinates of the center chunks in each location.
(WIP)
This guide assumes that you already have Rust and the Cargo toolchain installed and working.
Use cargo build --release to compile the program.
The executable will be located in the target/release directory.
To see a list of all available arguments and defaults, run the executable with the --help argument. The defaults are helpful to minimize the amount of searching done.
Set the variables accordingly and run the program (./geode-finder):
--seed: the seed of the world that you want to search in (default: 177013)--search-radius: the radius of chunks to search through (default: 10000)--geode-threshold: the minimum number of geodes in random tick range (default: 26)--budding-threshold: the minimum number of budding amethyst in random tick range (default: 1000)--game-version: the game version to use (1.18 or 1.17)
The program will produce a list of coordinates of the center chunks of each valid location.
If you have Carpet mod installed, I've included a helper script to facilitate world pregeneration. Copy the list of valid geode locations to [worldname]/scripts/shared/geodes.txt and place geodegen.sc inside the [worldname]/scripts directory. Load the script and begin the search with ./geodegen.
You can now use the region files from your world in this Geode AFK Spot Finder tool to obtain the best locations.
