	Amethyst geodes generate between Y=-58 and Y=30. Each [[Minecraft:chunk]] has a {{frac\|1\|24}} chance to attempt to generate a geode.		Amethyst geodes generate between Y=-58 and Y=30. Each [[Minecraft:chunk]] has a {{frac\|1\|24}} chance to attempt to generate a geode. When a geode attempts to generate, it first chooses a random block for generation.{{Info needed\|How a random block will be chosen?}} If the block is not [[Minecraft:air]], [[Minecraft:water]], [[Minecraft:ice]], [[Minecraft:packed ice]], [[Minecraft:blue ice]], [[Minecraft:bedrock]] or [[Minecraft:lava]], then a geode generates, otherwise the attempt fails. Because [[Minecraft:packed ice]] is an invalid block for amethyst geodes to generate, they rarely generate in [[Minecraft:ice caves]].<ref>{{bug\|MC-312663\|resolution=WAI}}</ref>{{upcoming\|Fourth Drop 2026}}
