BetterGeysers

BetterGeysers 1.0.0 - The Dynamic Eruption Update

BetterGeysers overhauls the vanilla geyser mechanics introduced in the 26.2 Snapshot 5 (Chaos Cubed update), transforming them from small decorative features into powerful, dynamic environmental hazards. Features

Infinite Height Scanning: Removed the hardcoded 4-block ceiling. Geysers now scan vertically and scale dynamically with water depth (up to Y=319).

Intelligent Surface Detection: Geysers now erupt upon hitting air or a solid ceiling, adapting perfectly to deep ocean trenches or underground caves.

Synced Visuals: Implemented a vertical bubble plume that follows the full height of the water column, synced with the scaled surface eruption.

High-Speed Elevators: Added a constantTravelTime setting that scales upward velocity relative to geyser height, ensuring a fast and responsive ride to the top.

Interactive In-Game Config: Configure everything live via the /bettergeysers config command to adjust heights, multipliers, and speeds without restarting.

Configuration

The mod generates a bettergeysers.json in your config folder with the following options:

maxWaterSources: The maximum depth the geyser will scan.

geyserHeightPerWaterSource: Controls the vertical reach of the eruption plume.

constantTravelTime: Toggle for the high-speed elevator physics.

travelTimeTicks: How many ticks it should take to reach the top.

dormantMultiplier & eruptingMultiplier: Customize the timing and rhythm of geyser eruptions.
