Ever wondered how to grow amethyst shards in Minecraft? Well, you’re in the right place to find out! Minecraft, the sandbox game that lets you build and adventure to your heart’s content, offers a plethora of materials to discover and use. Among these is the gleaming amethyst shard, a gorgeous resource for crafting and decoration.

So, if you’re on the hunt for these shimmering beauties, let’s dive straight into how you can grow amethyst shards in your very own Minecraft world.

Short Answer to Growing Amethyst Shards

To grow amethyst shards in Minecraft, you need to find an amethyst geode first. These geodes naturally spawn in the Overworld and contain blocks of amethyst. Specifically, you’ll want to look for budding amethyst blocks within these geodes, as only these blocks can grow amethyst clusters, which eventually drop amethyst shards when mined.

Remember, you can’t move budding amethyst blocks to another location; they have to stay where they spawned. So, set up your farming area around these special blocks. With a little patience, you’ll see amethyst clusters grow through four stages, and when they reach the final stage, you can mine them with any pickaxe to get those precious amethyst shards.
