# BetterGeysers<\/p>\n
BetterGeysers is a straightforward overhaul of the geyser mechanics introduced in 26.2-snapshot 5 (the Chaos Cubed update). In the vanilla game, geysers produced by Potent Sulfur are limited to a maximum height of 4 blocks. This mod removes that hardcoded limit and replaces it with logic that actually respects the environment around it.<\/p>\n
## Dynamic Scaling
\nThe mod works by scanning the water column above a Potent Sulfur block. Instead of stopping at a fixed number, the geyser will grow as long as it finds water source blocks, potentially reaching the top of your world. If it hits a solid ceiling or the surface of the water, it adapts its visuals and physics to match that exact spot.<\/p>\n
## Advanced Transport
\nThis change transforms geysers from a minor decorative feature into a legitimate tool for world-building and transport. If you place a geyser at the bottom of a deep ocean trench, it will create a massive plume of particles that shoots all the way to the surface.<\/p>\n
For players who want to use geysers as elevators, the mod includes a setting called **constant travel time**. When enabled, this ignores vanilla physics and instead calculates exactly how much force is needed to launch you to the top of the plume in a set amount of time.<\/p>\n
## Lava and Hazard Support
\nBeyond just water, BetterGeysers expands the functionality of Potent Sulfur to more extreme environments:
\n* **Lava Geysers:** Optionally allow geysers to function under lava pools, complete with unique sounds and particles.
\n* **Lethal Eruptions:** Enable damage scaling where deeper geysers deal more damage, making deep-sea vents as dangerous as they look.
\n* **Noxious Gas:** Customize or disable the gas clouds and nausea effects produced by the sulfur.<\/p>\n
## In-Game Editing
\nYou do not need to restart your game or mess with text editors to change how this mod behaves. You can type `\/bettergeysers config` in the chat to see your current settings. Every line in that message is clickable. If you click a setting, it will provide a menu in the chat where you can toggle booleans with buttons or click a prompt to type in a new number. Once you make a change, the mod updates in memory and saves to the config file instantly.<\/p>\n

## Configuration Reference<\/p>\n
The settings are stored in `bettergeysers.json` inside your config folder. Below is a breakdown of every available parameter:<\/p>\n
| Setting | Description |
\n| :— | :— |
\n| `maxWaterSources` | The maximum number of blocks the mod will scan upwards. |
\n| `geyserHeightPerWaterSource` | Controls the multiplier for the eruption plume height (Vanilla uses 5). |
\n| `constantTravelTime` | A toggle that makes the launch speed relative to the geyser height. |
\n| `travelTimeTicks` | How many ticks (1\/20th of a second) it should take to reach the top. |
\n| `allowLavaGeyser` | Allows geysers to function under lava pools. |
\n| `requireMagmaBlock` | If true, requires a Magma Block underneath the sulfur to activate. |
\n| `scaleSound` | Whether deep-sea geysers should sound more powerful than shallow ones. |
\n| `noxiousGasFumes` | Enables or disables gas cloud particles and nausea logic. |
\n| `disableNausea` | Disables just the nausea effect (fumes stay visible). |
\n| `nauseaDuration` | Duration of the nausea effect in seconds. |
\n| `enableDamage` | Whether geysers deal damage to entities in the plume. |
\n| `dynamicDamage` | If true, damage scales based on geyser depth; if false, uses `damagePerTick`. |
\n| `damagePerTick` | Base damage dealt per tick while erupting. |
\n| `dormantMultiplier` | Controls how much water depth affects the duration of dormant phases. |
\n| `eruptingMultiplier` | Controls how much water depth affects the duration of eruption phases. |
\n| `minEruptionOffset` | Minimum random time (seconds) added to the eruption phase. |
\n| `maxEruptionOffset` | Maximum random time (seconds) added to the eruption phase. |
\n| `minDormantOffset` | Minimum random time (seconds) added to the dormant phase. |
\n| `maxDormantOffset` | Maximum random time (seconds) added to the dormant phase. |<\/p>\n
