About
Budding Amethyst is a unique block that naturally generates inside amethyst geodes in the Minecraft underground. Unlike most amethyst blocks, budding amethyst cannot be obtained by mining, it breaks and drops nothing when harvested, even with a pickaxe. Its sole purpose is to slowly grow amethyst crystal clusters on its exposed faces, which you can then harvest for amethyst shards.
On a server, admins use the give command to place budding amethyst blocks for players who want to establish amethyst farms away from geodes. Since it does not stack, you need separate give commands if you want to place multiple blocks at once.
