In the first part of the upcoming Caves & Cliffs update, Minecraft is getting a lot of exciting new underground features. One of those is the amethyst geode – an uncommon geological formation that contains a new resource – amethyst shards, which just so happens to be our item of the week. What a lucky coincidence!
Here’s how they work. Geodes spawn underground and are surrounded by smooth basalt blocks. They’re also always partially submerged in some kind of solid block – usually stone. Dig through that, or find a crack in the surface, and you’ll uncover a layer of calcite – another new mineral. Inside the calcite layer, you’ll find something rather special – a mix of amethyst and budding amethyst blocks – as well as clusters of amethyst that when broken drop amethyst shards.
