An amethyst shard is a crystal obtained from mining a fully grown amethyst cluster and naturally spawning amethyst geodes. They can also be found in chests in ancient cities and trial chambers.

Obtaining

Mining

An amethyst cluster, mined using a pickaxe without Silk Touch or Fortune enchantments, drops 4 amethyst shards. When mined using any other tool, item, or mechanism (such as explosions or pistons) it drops 2 shards. The maximum amount of amethyst shards dropped can be increased with Fortune. Fortune I gives a 1⁄3 chance for 8 shards, averaging 5.33 shards; Fortune II gives a 25% chance (each) to give 8 or 12 shards, averaging 7 shards; and Fortune III gives a 20% chance (each) to give 8, 12, or 16 shards, averaging 8.8 shards.

If an amethyst cluster in any of its growth stages is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, it drops itself rather than amethyst shards.

Trim color palette

The following color palette is shown on the designs on trimmed armor:

Allay duplication

If an amethyst shard is given to an allay that is currently dancing to an active jukebox, the allay emits heart particles, consumes the amethyst shard, and duplicates into another allay. After this, there is a 5 minute cooldown until either allay can be duplicated again.
