minecraft:budding_amethystBudding amethyst is the generative core of an amethyst geode, slowly growing amethyst buds on its faces that mature into amethyst clusters. It cannot be obtained in Survival even with Silk Touch — mining it destroys the block and drops nothing.

FAQ
Can I harvest budding amethyst?
No. It cannot be obtained in Survival even with Silk Touch, and it drops nothing when broken.
How do I farm amethyst shards then?
Leave the budding amethyst in place and repeatedly harvest the fully grown clusters it produces, ideally with a non-Silk-Touch pickaxe to maximize shard drops.
Does it grow buds on every side?
Yes — buds can form on any exposed face, as long as the adjacent space is air or water.
