Crystevia gameplay ideas

[Cruuk]

Mostly a repost from the discord on how I think Crystevia can stick out from Deeplands (at least in terms of gameplay anyway). Just storing it here if I want to use it again if Crystevia becomes a dim that's focused on for development.

Crystevia's generation would be geode-like caverns separated by thick walls. Each of these caverns would house a biome. Crystevia's biomes would just be based off of the 6 colors that has the corresponding ore and mobs, along with a rare "rainbow" biome that can have any of the stuff.

The caverns would be very resource-rich, but would have insanely frequent mob spawns. Crystevia would be one of the most hostile places in the whole mod, making the gameplay loop rushing in there to raid resources, then getting the hell out before you get overwhelmed.

It wouldn't just be the mobs, the environment itself would be hostile in the form of crystal block formations that power up mobs, shoot stuff at you, and make mobs spawn below you (telegraphed of course) to catch hiders. The mibs would also be more destructive than usual.

These crystals power up mobs with the effects that they further amplify (speed on the Speed constructs). New effects can be added for constructs that don't have a corresponding effect they amplify. Maybe if you have the right effect applied, you can also get amplified by the crystals?

Unique to Crystevia would be a method to move your portal spawn (without the command). In other words, once you deplete a cavern of its resources, you can have the portal take you to another cavern so you don't have to travel longer and longer distances in this extreme hostile dim.

There would still be structures, and would just be things caverns may or may not have.

Alternatively, maybe Crystevia would be the dim with a unique portal system instead of Runandor. There could be random geodes in Deeplands with portals that lead to random parts of Crystevia. I don't think this would work with the current portal system though
