Description

Amethyst Shards are obtained by breaking fully grown amethyst cluster blocks found inside geode structures underground. A cluster broken without Silk Touch drops four shards; Fortune III increases the yield to up to sixteen. Shards are the crafting ingredient for spyglasses and tinted glass. Four shards in a two-by-two pattern craft a block of amethyst for decorative use. They can also be combined with copper ingots to craft a spyglass for zoomed viewing. Shards emit a faint chiming sound when walked on or struck. They are a valued crafting material in mid-game progression.
