Void biome suggestion: Begemmed archipelago
Turachkh opened this issue ยท 0 comments
Overview
Begemmed archipelago is a void biome consisting of floating rocks covered in crystals. The inside of the rocks could either be empty, filled with stone, be akin to a geode or be filled with a liquid, which could be either water or lava possibly even leaking. There could as well be something, possibly a dangerous herb there, that makes going there cumbersome, to make going there more late game.
Crystals
The crystals covering the floating rocks of the biome are in the size and shape of the small obsidian crystals from BN's magma land. The crystals are made of gravilite, amethyst, carnelian, onyx or prasiolite with the three last ones being new additions with a geminous relation to amethyst. All of the crystals will consist mostly of the simple variant though with the occasional budding one, though these will not be found when/if crystals generate outside of this biome. Carnelian, onyx and prasiolite are effectively amethysts with a different colour with the respective colour being red, pitch black and bright green serving the same functions as amethyst.
Glass
Amethyst, carnelian, onyx and prasiolite can be smelted into undyeable glass types with the colour and texture being that of the crystal it is created from slightly akin to obsidian glass of BN. The onyx one because of its dark colour, could serve as one way glass being transparent from some sides and opaque through others.
