FAQ

Can I harvest a Medium Amethyst Bud without Silk Touch?

No, breaking it without Silk Touch destroys the bud with no drop; only a Silk Touch tool retrieves the block.

What tool should I use?

A pickaxe mines it fastest, though it can technically be broken by hand since it requires no minimum tool tier.

Will it keep growing if I leave it?

Yes, on budding amethyst it randomly progresses from small to medium to large bud and finally to a mature amethyst cluster.

Does it emit light?

Yes, medium buds emit a light level of 2, brighter than small buds but dimmer than large buds and clusters.
