How to get Minecraft Amethyst Shards and how to make use of them

Minecraft Amethyst Shards can be found by mining clusters of amethyst that are found in geodes. These shards can be used as fancy decorations or as crafting resources to make Spyglasses and Tinted Glass. You will need to know the specifics of how you can maximize the shard gains you can get and where to locate Amethyst Geodes if you want to locate these purple crystalshards. Here are the details on how to find and mine Amethyst Shards within Minecraft.



Where to find Amethyst Geodes in Minecraft



It's easiest to go underground and start mining in Minecraft to find an Amethyst Geode. However, you don't have to go too deep. Amethyst geodes are available at Y-level -64 or Y-level 30. Because they are massive and often fractured, geodes can be easy to spot. You might also see tiny glowing lights from the distance.



When mining Be aware of smooth basalt. This is the dark layer of an Amethyst Geode. Monster Break through this initial layer to reveal calcite and then proceed to locate the amethyst. There are Blocks of Amethyst and Budding Amethyst as well as Amethyst Buds and Amethyst Clusters. Let's look at which:



How to get Amethyst Shards in Minecraft from Amethyst Clusters



Minecraft Netherite is extremely valuable, but it is a lot more difficult to obtain that Amesthyst Shards!



Amethyst Shards are released from the growing amethyst crystals called Amethyst Clusters. These clusters are found within Amethyst Geodes. If you mine amethyst clusters, you will receive Minecraft Amethyst Shards in return. They can be used to make specific items.



It is important to only mine fully mature ones. The smaller Amethyst Buds in Minecraft will not drop any Amethyst Shards. There are three growth stages before an Amethyst Bud becomes an Amethyst Cluster. You can see them in the picture above.



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



Budding Amethyst blocks are the most ideal location to grow Minecraft Amethyst Clusters or Buds. You can identify them by the cross-shape that is visible on their sides. Budding Amethyst is not possible to mine, however you can return to find newly-spawned Amethyst Buds. The other amethyst solid block is called a 'Block of Amethyst', and can only be mined with the help of a pickaxe. The block can only be used to decorate your home and cannot be used to grow Amethyst Buds. If you wish to use Amethyst Shards to create additional Minecraft Blocks of Amethyst, you can make them.



You can make anything you want with Minecraft Amethyst Shards



Amethyst Shards are an exciting elegant, luxurious building material. You can also use them to make the following items:



Spyglass Spyglass: Spyglass is one-half-inch thick Amethyst Shard layered on top of two Copper Ingots. Spyglasses can be used to zoom in to view distant objects. Tinted Glass: One block of glass with an Amethyst Shard above, below and on either side, will result in two blocks of Tinted Glass. Tinted Glass is a building material that blocks out all light (but you can still see through it). It doesn't choke mobs, but it can be used again when it is broken.


Block of Amethyst As we've said before it is only a decorative. You can create the Block of Amethyst with four Amethyst Shards.


It's time to find some Amethyst Shards to create your dream amethyst home!
