Large Amethyst Bud is the third of four growth stages of an amethyst cluster, sprouting from a budding amethyst block. It emits a soft purple light and must grow one more stage into a full cluster before it yields amethyst shards.

FAQ

Do I need Silk Touch to keep a Large Amethyst Bud?

Yes. Without Silk Touch it breaks with no drop; only a fully grown Amethyst Cluster drops shards without Silk Touch.

Does a Large Amethyst Bud grow further?

Yes. Given time and an adjacent budding amethyst, it advances into a full Amethyst Cluster, the final growth stage.

Does Fortune help harvest it?

No. Fortune only affects the fully grown Amethyst Cluster stage, not the Large Amethyst Bud.

Where do amethyst buds generate?

Only inside amethyst geodes, growing outward from budding amethyst blocks found underground.
