Certus Quartz Cluster

Zertus-Quarz-Cluster

Meteorites leave big craters (30–40 blocks) full of gravel and rubble. A black ball of Sky Stone sits in the middle. Dig inside: the hollow core holds certus clusters, budding certus and the Mysterious Cube.

    Knospender Zertus treibt Knospen wie Amethyst: klein → mittel → groß → Cluster. Cluster abbauen = 4 Kristalle. Wachstumsbeschleuniger daneben machen es ~90× schneller.

How to use it

Budding certus grows buds on every free side like amethyst: small → medium → large → cluster.

Mine a cluster with a pickaxe = 4 crystals (Fortune gives more). Unfinished buds only give 1 dust.

Tiers: flawless (forever), flawed, chipped, damaged. The lower ones sometimes lose a tier while growing (1/12) and end up as a plain certus block.

Mining without Silk Touch = one tier lower; flawless always becomes flawed.
