Amethyst Armor: Crystal Storage, Full Armor Set, and Tool Recipes

In Minecraft 1.16.5—before vanilla geodes existed—Amethyst Armor introduces its own Amethyst gem progression complete with reversible storage blocks, reconstitutable ore, a four-piece armor suit, and a five-piece tool kit.

Harvesting, Compressing, and Rebuilding Amethyst Ore

Collecting your first Amethyst gem triggers the advancement "Amethyst Achievment". Excess gems pack nine-to-one into an Amethyst Block and unpack back into nine Amethyst pieces whenever you need crafting stock:

• Amethyst x9 -> Amethyst Block
• Amethyst Block -> Amethyst x9

If you want decorative ore blocks for builds or mining setups, surrounding a single Amethyst with four Cobblestone blocks crafts Amethyst Ore:

• Cobblestone x4 + Amethyst -> Amethyst Ore

Crafting the Amethyst Armor Suit

All four armor pieces follow standard crafting layouts using five, eight, seven, and four Amethyst gems across the helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. Note the underscore naming convention on every armor piece in recipe viewers:

• Amethyst x5 -> Amethyst_Helmet
• Amethyst x8 -> Amethyst_Chestplate
• Amethyst x7 -> Amethyst_Leggings
• Amethyst x4 -> Amethyst_Boots

Forging Amethyst Weapons and Tools

Pairing Amethyst with Stick handles rounds out the five-piece equipment set. While Amethyst Sword and Amethyst Shovel use standard spaced names, the pickaxe, axe, and hoe include the `_Tools` prefix:

• Amethyst x2 + Stick -> Amethyst Sword
• Amethyst x3 + Stick x2 -> Amethyst_Tools Pickaxe
• Amethyst x3 + Stick x2 -> Amethyst_Tools Axe
• Amethyst + Stick x2 -> Amethyst Shovel
• Amethyst x2 + Stick x2 -> Amethyst_Tools Hoe

Crafting the five tools alongside the four armor pieces requires nine Stick handles and two Amethyst Block worth of stored gems with plenty to spare.
