Field guide

Item details

How to obtain

  • Mined from mature amethyst clusters growing inside underground amethyst geodes. Source
  • Breaking a cluster with an iron pickaxe or better yields 4 shards (increased up to 16 with Fortune III). Source

Practical uses

  • Crafted with copper ingots to create spyglasses, or with glass blocks to produce tinted glass. Source
  • Four amethyst shards craft one decorative block of amethyst, or duplicate silence and flow armor trims. Source

Mechanics

  • Must be harvested from amethyst clusters; mining the immature budding amethyst block destroys it permanently. Source
