Amethyst are rare minerals used in crafting. They are found in Lightning Dragon Caves, both as ores and in chests. They can also be found in chests in Lightning Dragon Roosts.
Obtaining[]
Mining[]
Amethyst ore drops one amethyst when mined using a iron or better pickaxe. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it may drop an extra amethyst per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 amethysts with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, it drops itself instead of a amethyst.
Crafting[]
Amethysts are crafted with Amethyst Block (Shapeless Recipe).

Natural generation[]
They are found in Lightning Dragon Caves, in form of ore all around the cave or in chest, but also in chests of Lightning Dragon Roosts.
