Amethyst Geode
Page updated
A mineral cavity with smooth basalt and calcite around an amethyst-lined hollow center. Budding amethyst grows new clusters that yield amethyst shards when harvested.
This guide follows vanilla Java 26.3. Historical changes retain their own edition and version. Bedrock generation and loot can differ. Screenshots and verified seeds below retain their own game versions.

Where it generates in Java 26.3
The amethyst-geode placed feature is included in the Overworld biome definitions. It uses a feature-placement pipeline rather than a structure-set spacing grid. [1][3][4]
Placement and frequency
The first placement filter passes approximately one in 24 attempts, then chooses an X/Z position within the chunk and an inclusive starting height from six blocks above the world bottom to Y=30. In the default Overworld, the lower starting height is Y=-58. These are feature origins, not the top and bottom of every geode. [1][2][4]
Conditions and limits
The geode algorithm samples distribution points near the origin and rejects the attempt if more than one sampled point is air or belongs to the invalid-block tag. Consequently, the one-in-24 filter is not a guarantee of one visible geode per 24 chunks. [1][2][4]
Recognize the three layers
A geode is a rounded mineral cavity with smooth basalt outside, calcite inside that, and an amethyst-lined hollow center. Budding amethyst appears among ordinary amethyst blocks and carries the growing crystals. The feature can cut a crack through its shell, but an opening is not guaranteed. [5]
The layers are generated from a shaped field rather than assembled room templates. A simple width or room-size diagram would hide that irregularity. Following the white calcite inward is a more useful exploration cue than expecting a fixed spherical room. [6]
Preserve the growing blocks
Budding amethyst uses random ticks to try a neighboring face. A suitable face can begin a small bud, then progress through medium and large buds to a mature cluster. Growth needs a suitable neighboring block and orientation; ordinary amethyst blocks do not run this growth code. [6]
Expose and preserve budding blocks if the goal is continued crystal production. A cleared geode is not an automatically safe room: the geode feature does not place a guardian or mob spawner, but nearby caves remain part of the surrounding world. [6]
Loot and rewards in Java 26.3
The geode feature places mineral layers, budding blocks and buds/clusters rather than a chest. Its renewable resource is crystal growth on budding amethyst; ordinary amethyst blocks do not perform that growth behavior. [7][8]
The mature-cluster loot table uses ordered alternatives. A tool passing the can_silk_touch predicate selects the cluster item itself. Otherwise a tool in cluster_max_harvestables selects four shards with a Fortune ore_drops bonus; the fallback branch selects two shards with explosion decay. Those branches must not be collapsed into one unconditional shard count. [7]
The budding_amethyst block table has no pools and supplies no item. Silk Touch on a mature cluster selects that cluster; it does not make the budding block obtainable. Preserve the growing source blocks if the goal is continued harvesting. Random-tick growth does not establish a fixed real-time supply rate. [7][8]
| Item | Where the rule applies | What the data establishes |
|---|---|---|
 Amethyst cluster | Mature cluster with the Silk Touch predicate satisfied | The first alternative selects the cluster item rather than shards. [7] |
 Amethyst shard | Mature cluster without Silk Touch | Four baseline shards with a tool in cluster_max_harvestables, plus Fortune; otherwise the fallback starts at two with explosion decay. [7] |
Version history and release dates
These milestones retain their edition and exact build labels. Snapshot, beta and preview dates belong to those development builds; full releases and staggered Pocket platform releases are dated separately. Historical introduction claims come from the cited Wiki history. [9]
| Version | Released | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| Java 20w45a | November 4, 2020 | Introduced amethyst geodes during Java 1.17 development. [9][11] |
| Java 21w08a | February 24, 2021 | Replaced the outer tuff layer with smooth basalt and prevented fully floating geodes. [9][12] |
| Bedrock beta 1.17.0.50 | April 21, 2021 | Added experimental amethyst geodes. [9][13] |
| Java 21w20a | May 19, 2021 | Reduced the attempt frequency from one per 30 chunks to one per 53 chunks. [9][14] |
| Java 1.17 | June 8, 2021 | Amethyst geodes were introduced in Java 1.17. [9][15] |
| Bedrock 1.17.0 | June 8, 2021 | Released geodes without requiring experimental gameplay. [9][16] |
| Java 1.18 | November 30, 2021 | Amethyst geodes no longer generated above Y=30. [9][17] |
| Bedrock 1.18.0 | November 30, 2021 | Enabled geodes below Y=0 and capped their generation at Y=30. [9][18] |
