Amethyst Geode

Image via Mojang screenshot


How are Amethyst Geodes Generated?


Amethyst geodes generate between Y=64 and Y=30. These structures will generate regardless of whether “generate structures” is on or off. There is a 1⁄24 chance of generating an amethyst geode in each chunk, which will override caverns and mineshafts (though amethyst geodes will not override anything else). On occasion, they will appear above the surface on beaches or water.


The Layout of Amethyst Geodes


Amethyst geodes are made up of three parts: the outer layer consisting of smooth basalt, the middle layer made up of calcite, and the inner layer of budding amethyst, amethyst blocks, and shards.


Loot


The main loot within amethyst geodes is amethyst shards. These shards can be used to craft Amethyst blocks (for building and decoration), create tinted glass (for decoration and light blocking), and for the creation of Spyglasses which players can use to view faraway objects.

Conclusion


Amethyst geodes are a common but beautiful generated structure that adds a greater depth to cave structures in Minecraft. They are one of the main sources of amethyst shards within the game. While the only utilitarian usage for these amethyst shards is to make spyglasses, they still serve as a useful source of resources for decoration and building.
