World generation[edit]
- A new feature found uncommonly underground (can rarely appear exposed to the surface close to sea level).

- Also generates with a small nearby air pocket nearby that may open into the geode.
- Most commonly generates at lower levels (y = 6 to y = 47)
- Overrides standard caves and ravines, but is overridden by abandoned mineshafts.
Gameplay[edit]
- Added 3 new death messages:
- "<player> froze to death"
- "<player> was skewered by a falling stalactite"
- "<player> was impaled on a stalagmite"
