Selenite is a family of pale crystal blocks and a crafting material added by Hexerei. The family consists of the Selenite Block, Budding Selenite, the Selenite Cluster and its three smaller buds, and the Selenite Shard, which clusters drop when broken. Selenite occurs in geodes that generate in swamp biomes. It is also used in Hexerei's Mixing Cauldron recipes, where a shard is one of the ingredients of the Broom Netherite Tip. In Fear Nightfall, swamps are among the biomes where horror structures are concentrated, so the geodes are found in the same areas as many of the pack's dangerous structures.

Obtaining

Selenite geodes

Selenite geodes generate in the #c:is_swamp biome tag through a biome modifier added by Hexerei. The placed feature has a rarity filter of 1 in 24 chunks, and it generates between 6 blocks above the bottom of the world and Y 30. In the Overworld, the vanilla swamp biome is replaced by Willow Swamp when TerraBlender is loaded, so geodes appear in Willow Swamp along with any other swamp biome in the pack. The item tooltip for the Selenite Shard also mentions jungles, but no jungle biome modifier adds the geode, so geodes do not generate in jungles.

The geode is a standard geode with a selenite-specific layer stack:

• an air interior;
• an inner layer of Selenite Block, with Budding Selenite as the alternate inner layer;
• a middle layer of Calcite;
• an outer layer of Smooth Basalt.

The inner cavity holds Selenite Clusters and small, medium and large buds, all facing up.

Selenite Shard

Breaking a Selenite Cluster without Silk Touch drops 2 Selenite Shards. A tool in the vanilla #minecraft:cluster_max_harvestables item tag drops 4 shards, and Fortune adds to that count. The drop is subject to explosion decay, so an explosion can reduce the count. A cluster mined with Silk Touch drops the cluster block itself.

Usage

Blocks

The Selenite Block is a building block with a hardness of 0.5 and a blast resistance of 0.5. It is mined with a pickaxe, and it drops itself only if it survives the explosion that destroys it. The Selenite Cluster and the small, medium and large buds are also mined with a pickaxe.

The buds emit light. The small bud has a light level of 1, the medium bud 2, the large bud 4 and the cluster 5. Each bud has a facing that matches the face of the block it is attached to.

Budding Selenite has a hardness of 1 and a blast resistance of 1. Pistons destroy it rather than move it.

Budding Selenite growth

Budding Selenite grows buds on random ticks. On each random tick, it has a 1 in 5 chance of acting. When it acts, it picks one of its six adjacent faces at random:

• If the face is air, or a full water source block, a small bud is placed there, facing outward. The bud is waterlogged if the space was water.
• If the face holds a small bud facing outward, that bud is upgraded to a medium bud.
• If the face holds a medium bud facing outward, that bud is upgraded to a large bud.
• If the face holds a large bud facing outward, that bud is upgraded to a Selenite Cluster.

A Selenite Cluster does not grow further. Buds only upgrade when they face the same direction as the attempt, so a bud on one face is never upgraded by growth from another face.

Candles

A Selenite Shard can be added to a candle as a recipe add-in. The result is a candle with a Selenite Block layer texture.

Mixing Cauldron

The Broom Netherite Tip is made in the Mixing Cauldron. The recipe requires 2000 mB of lava, a heat source from the hexerei:heat_sources tag, and eight items: 1 Selenite Shard, 3 Netherite Ingots and 4 Netherite Scrap. The tip is one of the broom tips described under Brooms, and it has a durability of 200 in the default configuration.

Crafting ingredient

The shard and blocks are used in the following recipes:
