Medium Amethyst Bud Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a medium amethyst bud with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a medium amethyst bud is a new item that was introduced in the Caves & Cliffs Update: Part I. Medium amethyst buds will create beautiful sounds when you walk on them, break them, place them, or hit them with a projectile. A medium amethyst bud is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

How to get a Medium Amethyst Bud in Survival Mode

You can add a medium amethyst bud to your inventory in Survival mode by finding one growing in a geode in your world and then mining it with a tool that is enchanted with Silk Touch. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Geode

First, you need to find a geode in your Minecraft world. Geodes are found underground in the Overworld, sometimes at the end of an underground cave system.

A geode is made of 3 layers – the outer layer is tuff, the second layer is calcite, and the inner layer is blocks of amethyst and budding amethyst (with different growth stages of amethyst).

Within the inner layer of the geode, you can find small amethyst buds, medium amethyst buds, large amethyst buds, and amethyst clusters growing on the budding amethyst blocks. These are the 4 growth stages of amethyst:
