How to get Minecraft Amethyst Shards and how to use them

To make a Spyglass, or Tinted Glass, use Mine Amethyst Clusters



Amethyst mining clusters that have been linked to geodes can result in Minecraft Amethyst shards. These Shards can be used for fancy decorations or as crafting resources to create Spyglasses and Tinted Glass. If you're looking to look for the purple crystal shards you'll need to understand the particulars of where to locate Amethyst Geodes and how to maximize the benefits of shards. Here are the information on how to find and mine Amethyst Shards within Minecraft.





Where can I find Amethyst Geodes in Minecraft




It's easiest to go underground and begin mining in Minecraft to locate an Amethyst Geode. However, you don't have to go very deep. Amethyst geodes are available at Y-level -64 or Y-level 30. Because they are large and often cracked, geodes are easily identified. You may also notice tiny glowing lights from a distance.



While mining be aware of the smooth basalt. This is the dark outer layer of an Amethyst Geode. Break through the first layer to uncover calcite and then proceed to locate the amethyst. You'll find Blocks of Amethyst and Budding Amethyst as well as Amethyst Buds and Amethyst Clusters. Forums Let's review which of which:





How do I get Amethyst Shards from Minecraft using Amethyst Clusters




Minecraft Netherite is extremely valuable however, it's much more difficult to locate the Amesthyst Shards.



Amethyst Shards are dropped from the growing amethyst crystals called Amethyst Clusters. They are found in Amethyst Geodes. If you mine amethyst clusters, you get Minecraft Amethyst Shards in return, and they can be used to craft specific items.



It's important to only mine fully grown ones, since the smaller Minecraft Amethyst Buds will not drop any Amethyst Shards. An Amethyst Bud goes through three stages before becoming an Amethyst Cluster. Check out the picture above to distinguish them!



Fully formed Amethyst clusters drop two Minecraft Amethyst Shards when broken using any other tool and four when mined with the use of a pickaxe. The amount of Amethyst Shards that drop can increase further with the Fortune enchantment. Make use of the Silk Touch enchantment to pick the cluster.



Budding Amethyst blocks are the best place to grow Minecraft Amethyst Clusters or Buds. You can recognize them by their cross-shapes on their sides. Budding Amethyst is not possible to mine, but you can return to find new-spawned Amethyst Buds. The second amethyst solid block is referred to as a "Block of Amethyst" and is only mined with a pickaxe. This block is purely decorative, and will not grow Amethyst Buds. If you wish to use Amethyst Shards for other Minecraft Blocks of Amethyst, you can use them to create them.





You can create anything using Minecraft Amethyst Shards




Amethyst Shards are a new, posh building material. You can also make the following items:



Spyglass:A Spyglass is a single amethyst Shard that is layered on top of two Copper Ingots. Spyglasses can be used to zoom in to see far objects.


Tinted Glass: One glass block with an Amethyst Shard above, below and on either side, will result in two blocks of Tinted Glass. Tinted Glass blocks light but you can still see through it. It doesn't choke mobs, but can be reused in the event of a break.


Block Of Amethyst This is decorative only. You can craft a Block of Amethyst using four Amethyst Shards.


Time to dig up some Amethyst Shards, and create that amethyst mansion of your dreams!
