A '''block of amethyst''', known internally as an '''amethyst block''', is a block found in [[Minecraft:amethyst geode]]s or crafted from [[Minecraft:amethyst shard]]s. It can be placed next to a [[Minecraft:sculk sensor]] to "relay" received [[Minecraft:vibration]]s to other sculk sensors.<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
A block of amethyst can be obtained by mining it with any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]. When mined using any other [[Minecraft:tool]], it drops nothing.<br />
<br />
{{Breaking row|Block of Amethyst|Pickaxe|Wooden|horizontal=1|foot=1}}<br />
<br />
=== Natural generation ===<br />
Blocks of amethyst generate naturally on the inner wall of [[Minecraft:amethyst geode]]s, with [[Minecraft:calcite]] and [[Minecraft:smooth basalt]] making up the next two outer layers.<br />

<br />
== Usage ==<br />
=== Sound ===<br />
A block of amethyst makes a quiet overlay sound when generally interacted with, and makes louder sounds when hit by projectiles.<br />
<br />
=== Vibration resonance ===<br />
When a block of amethyst is placed adjacent to a [[Minecraft:sculk sensor]] or a [[Minecraft:calibrated sculk sensor]], if that sculk sensor receives a [[Minecraft:vibration]], the block of amethyst re-emits its frequency as a separate vibration at its location. This vibration can then be detected by another sculk sensor, allowing a chain of sculk sensors and amethyst blocks to be created, transmitting a signal wirelessly.<br />
<br />
=== Sulfur cube ===<br />
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}<br />
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb blocks of amethyst, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.<br />
