An '''amethyst shard''' is a crystal obtained from mining a fully grown [[amethyst cluster]]. They can also be found in chests in [[ancient cities]] and [[Trial Chambers|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 [[explosion]]s or [[piston]]s) it drops 2 shards. The maximum amount of amethyst shards dropped can be increased with Fortune. Fortune I gives a {{frac|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.

=== 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.
