Geodesy Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with Geodesy Mod?
Use the /geodesy command to receive The Unholy Book of Geodesy and a set of blocks. Read the book for instructions on how to use the mod to analyze your amethyst geode and plan your farm layout.
What does the Unholy Book of Geodesy do?
The book contains the mod's documentation and guides you through the process of analyzing your geode, identifying optimal block placements, and building your amethyst farm.
How do I analyze my amethyst geode?
Place the special blocks provided by the mod at your geode location and use them to scan the positions of amethyst buds. The mod will help you visualize which bud blocks exist and their exact layout.
Why do I need to plan slime and honey block placement?
Amethyst buds cannot be moved, so you must position slime and honey blocks around them to direct items into your collection system. The optimal layout depends on your specific geode's bud arrangement, which Geodesy helps you determine.
Can I use this mod with geodes that have already been partially mined?
The mod works best with intact geodes. If buds have already been removed, the analysis will be incomplete and your farm design may not function as intended.
Do I need to keep the analysis blocks in place while building my farm?
No—use the analysis blocks to plan your layout, then remove them and replace them with your actual slime and honey blocks according to the plan you've created.
Does Geodesy Mod work with Ilmango's amethyst farm design?
Yes, the mod was specifically designed to complement Ilmango's efficient amethyst farm design by helping you optimize block placement for your geode's unique layout.
Can I use Geodesy Mod in multiplayer?
Yes, the mod works in both single-player and multiplayer worlds, though only players with the mod installed will see the analysis tools and blocks.
What if my geode is partially inside a chunk border or difficult to access?
The mod works at any geode location, but you'll need physical access to place and interact with the analysis blocks. Ensure you can reach all parts of your geode before starting the analysis.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
Geodesy Mod is lightweight and only active during the planning phase. Once you've built your farm and removed the analysis blocks, there is no ongoing performance impact.
