Medium Amethyst Bud
minecraft:medium_amethyst_budA medium amethyst bud is the second of four growth stages that sprout naturally from budding amethyst blocks found inside amethyst geodes. It emits a light level of 2, giving it a subtle decorative glow while it continues growing toward a small, then large bud, and finally a fully mature amethyst cluster. Mining a medium bud without Silk Touch drops nothing, so a Silk Touch tool is required to collect it intact for decorative use elsewhere.
FAQ
How does a medium amethyst bud form?
It grows from a budding amethyst block, which has a random chance on each tick to advance an exposed face from small bud to medium bud, then large bud, then a full cluster.
Do you need Silk Touch to collect a medium amethyst bud?
Yes, without Silk Touch a medium bud drops nothing when broken; only a Silk Touch tool retrieves the block itself.
Does a medium amethyst bud give off light?
Yes, it emits a light level of 2, slightly more useful for ambient lighting than the small bud stage.
Can a medium amethyst bud be placed anywhere?
It can only be placed by natural growth from budding amethyst and does not attach to blocks like fences, glass panes, leaves, or anvils.
