Crafting Recipes:

Recommend that you should install Just Enough Items (for mods using Forge) or Roughly Enough Items (for mods using Fabric) to view the full recipes included in this mod

How it works:

• A platform is generated underneath the player and blocks are generated in the world from the player one radius length away on all sides. Blocks will **only** be placed where air exists. It will not destroy any blocks if you accidentally cast it in an undesired location.
• After a circle is created, the platform begins to expand downwards in a spike-like shape with random chances to generate extra blocks where they otherwise would not – this gives the island a random shape.
• The surface is randomly distributed with various odds of decoration or blocks depending on the biome type chosen
• Once the surface is placed, the biome is then changed to the biome type of the crystal respective to each surface blocks column. It does  not change the entire chunk to the same biome. This lets you make really cool biome borders!
• The biome will not update client-side until the player re-logs, however it is updated server side immediately.
• Decoration and biome shifts only happen on newly generated surface blocks. Casting it without generating new surface won’t do anything!
• The item is damaged based on the number of blocks generated, not the number of casts.
