Feature description

The inclusion of blackstone geodes that can be found in the Nether, randomly scattered within naturally generating blackstone blocks. Probably would use the same glittering mechanic that deepslate geodes use currently, but maybe instead there could be a different method of sussing out blackstone geode blocks? Perhaps they emit soot particles when set on fire, or react when nearby a lava block (within a 3x3x3 area of lava?)

Loot from blackstone geodes could include:

• Nether Quartz (nether quartz can now be socketed to provide extra experience points (NOT more honing progress, more experience points, like for enchanting) from relevant actions performed with the tool. kills provide more xp, and mining specific blocks provides more xp.)
• Pristine Nether Quartz (nether quartz, but provides better socket bonuses)
• Raw Iron
• Raw Gold
• Gold Nuggets
• Netherite Scrap (rare)
• Flint
• Coal
• Gunpowder
• Blaze Powder
• Glowstone Dust

How it improves the player experience

This would provide incentive to explore and mine in the Nether outside of quartz farming and netherite strip bombing. The inclusion of blackstone geodes prevents it from being too common, as blackstone only generates in clumps, and encourages players to either traverse the open nether in search of exposed clumps, or mine through and risk lava pockets.

It also provides a new socket, and a further use for quartz that's in line for the uses of other such gems and crystals in the Tetra mod. It provides a new method of obtaining netherite aside from strip bombing massive tracts of land.

Tetra synergies

This furthers exploration, provides more customization in the form of a new socket, and allows for the inclusion of further features in the future regarding the expansion of tool options and customization in the game.
