Functions

• The Geiger counter can measure three different types of radiation with a practically infinite scope, those types being chunk radiation, environmental radiation and player contamination.

• It can be used in one of two forms, either as a hand-held item or in its block form.

• Holding it in the inventory will show a meter on the bottom left of the screen, and right-clicking while holding it will send a message in chat showing the various doses of radiation.

• It will also click whenever it reads any kind of radiation, a signature function of any dosimeter.

Trivia

• The Geiger counter is modeled after the Thermofisher Scientific Minimonitor 900 Series Geiger Counter.
• Geiger counters use a Geiger–Müller tube to measure radiation.
• It will, in fact, measure more than 3.6 RAD/s.
• Hello, i am here to ruin the above joke, Roentgens were used to measure radiation, not RADS (im soo fun at parties).
