How to Mine Amethyst Shards in Minecraft

Ever wondered how you can snag some shiny amethyst shards in Minecraft? You’re not alone! Let’s dive straight into how you can get your hands on these precious gems.

If you’re asking yourself, “How do I mine amethyst shards in Minecraft?” you’ve come to the right place. We’re going to break it down for you, step by easy step.

Locate an Amethyst Geode

First things first, you need to find an amethyst geode. These are the only places in Minecraft where amethyst shards are found. Geodes can show up pretty much anywhere underground and you’ll recognize them by their outer layer of smooth basalt.

Once you’ve found a geode, break through the basalt to discover the amethyst blocks inside. Remember, only the blocks that look like they’re budding will drop amethyst shards when mined.

Mine with the Right Tool

Now, to get those shards, you’ll need to mine the budding amethyst blocks with an iron pickaxe or better. Other tools just won’t cut it, and you’ll end up breaking the block without getting any shards.

With the right pickaxe in hand, go ahead and mine those budding amethyst blocks. Each block will drop 4 amethyst shards, which you can collect. Just be careful not to break the block before it’s fully grown if you want the maximum number of shards!
