The Minecraft Amethyst Update

Good morning gamers it’s your boy amethysts are sweet amethysts are already used to craft some pretty cool things like the spyglass and tinted glass however what if there were more today i’ve got the answer we’re going to check out a really really cool pack that has way

More uses to amethyst i’ll go ahead and leave a link to the pack in the description remember to like subscribe and notification bell i hope you enjoyed the video all right this stuff is actually kind of crazy we’re starting off inside of an amethyst geo thought it was kind of

Fitting but check it out uh in front of us we have a bunch of new amethyst things but ho ho this isn’t it this is not it at all nope that’s not it at all actually so all the amethyst things and over here we have copper things

Then there’s an entire redo to the whole mining system glow squid changes yeah this whole pack is basically its own cave update it’s pretty sweet big shout out to golden cross 64 for the pack it’s called the improved mining pack this pack is basically its own cave update it takes some of the

Features coming at 1.17 1.18 and changes them some of the features and adds to them it’s actually kind of crazy and it’s gigantic today for the most part we’re just going to take a look at the amethyst part of this pack when 1.17 drops you’ll be able to use

Amethyst to craft a brand new tool the spyglass the spyglass is basically a telescope it’s pretty sweet however when it comes to the official update amethyst tools all that stuff that’s basically it no amethyst tools but this packs is no way with this pack you’ll actually get a

Brand new set of tools the amethyst tool set now i’m not necessarily saying that i think there should be amethyst tools amethyst is a little different but look at these things they look so good honestly it kind of reminds me of like enchanted netherite or something like that

Kind of like the purple glow and the purple vibes they’re like on point this is like some royalty or stuff here it looks good now we’re not going to spend so much time on the recipes because uh well the recipes but i did set them up so you

Could see them so the amethyst sword is crafted like that the amethyst shovel is grafted like that the amethyst is hoe it’s crafted like that the amethyst pickaxe it’s crafted like that the amethyst acts it’s crafted like that that’s where we stop for no i was honestly so surprised when i saw where

They actually fit into the tier system amethyst tools are good they’re gonna be a new second best tier in the game that’s gonna put them in between diamond tier and nether right here they are literally better than time and tools which which is kind of crazy so check

That out three hits with the amazon sword creeper gone three hits with diamond sword creeper gone we can’t really see a difference there but if i land a crit then we’re gonna see a big difference so one hit right there two hit right there creeper gone

Now if we do it again diamond sword one two three if you can count that’s actually a little bit more however let me stress a little bit because it’s literally a little bit so amateur sword plus 7.5 attack damage diamond sword 7 attack damage it’s literally the smallest gap that it could

Possibly be in this game netherride sword for reference has eight attack damage so it’s literally right in the middle check this out though there’s a little confusing 1.6 attack speed 1.6 attack speed amethyst sword minus 2.4 attack speed i think it’s wrong uh that reload time feels like the same

It’s like literally the exact same thing out of all of these things when i swing and then i have to wait yeah it’s the same it’s got to be wrong but don’t worry amethyst swords aren’t too tanky because check this out durability it’s actually gonna be exactly the same as diamonds amateur

Sword only has a tiny bit more attack damage it’s not all that much better working tools same exact thing as the sword the tier placement is going to be the same it’s going to be in between diamond and netherride now when it comes to the speed of the

Amethyst shovel i think it’s the exact same thing as the diamond shovel i can’t really see a difference here it looks identical durability also identical attack damage a little bit more than the diamond tier all of this made me realize something insane though the nether eye shovel

A literal shovel is more dangerous in minecraft than the iron sword a shovel is stronger than the sword what diamond hoe amethyst so diamond hoe amethyst hoe it’s the same thing diamond axe amethyst acts diamond axe amethyst axe it’s literally the same thing the durability on all of these tools are

Literally the same thing the attack damage is a little bit stronger with amethyst though amethysts are pretty sweet looking they fit in in between diamond and nether right tier same thing is going to go for the pickaxe however before we check out the pickaxe we should definitely talk about

A big change that this pack makes and has to do with mining and particularly like the stones so like stone deep slate granite andesite those things there’s a big change here uh if i mine this stone block right here with this diamond figure explainable diamond big axe usually

I will get cobblestone right well well yes i get cobblestone however that’s not the only thing that i can get here i can actually get a couple other random things now when i mine stone now most of the time you’re still going to get cobblestone here so nothing has

Really been changed too much but sometimes you’ll get other things things like copper shards iron nuggets and bones with snow deep slate because you find it a little bit deeper gets better you can actually find a diamond shard if you’re really lucky in your mind deeply but it seems

To be insanely insanely rare the pack is basically trying to improve mining and make it more interesting so to make it more interesting it randomizes things if you get nine of the shards you can actually use them to craft one single ingot or one single diamond or one single

Embryo there are emerald charts and diamond charts too if we’re talking about consistency this might actually kind of make sense if you think about it we have iron nugget gold nugget iron ingot gold ingot we have copper ingot no copper nugget big rip anyways this is gonna be the

Same thing for diamond and emerald nine diamond shards give you one diamond and nine emerald charts give you one emerald there’s a little bit more to these mining changes but basically that’s it so anyways amethyst pickaxe it mines everything at the same speed as the diamond pickaxe or at least it’s like

Almost the same speed stone pretty fast just like with the diamond pickaxe deep slate is gonna be a little bit slower but yeah basically the same exact thing durability as you would expect i feel like amethyst in between diamond tier and nether criteria is definitely an interesting spot to put this stuff

Because you can literally farm it pretty easily too if you have a geode but either way amethyst tools it’s a cool idea archaeology you remember it i remember archaeology we didn’t even know you and i miss you it’s tragic slaughtered in front of us amethyst brush archaeology is beautiful

Archaeology it’s amazing but it’s not in a cave update it’s in this data pack though uh kind of kind of the brush doesn’t really work exactly how it was shown off at minecon and to be honest i don’t even know if the brush actually works if i

Mind a blackout i don’t get anything except what i would normally get i’m pretty sure this archaeology system is still being developed there’s a copper brush in the gameju which is pretty cool looking but yeah the brushes don’t seem to actually do anything quite

Yet but i will say if it’s kind of like how the stone works that’s going to be pretty sweet imagine digging out a dirt block and then you get like a randomized drop maybe dirt maybe something else the pack is an alpha it’s still being worked on there’ll be more with the

Brush later probably the final three amethyst things are all super unique and really really cool brand new amethyst flavored food the amethyst berry to craft amethyst berries this is the recipe right here it’s gonna be a little bit expensive here but it’s worth it actually surprisingly amethyst berries

Are gonna be mining related first we need to lose a little bit of hunger though so we can actually eat the amethyst berry the amethyst berry is a decent food it’s gonna refill two hunger hunches as well so check this out amythest berry if i eat this thing

The hunger is refilled and then i’m glowing all of a sudden and right there check that out haste three now the haste three is only going to be for five seconds so only when you eat so if you’re trying to use this haste three for something you’re gonna have to be

Like really smart here like take damage eat and then mine instantly but it is real haze three like things mine faster which is so crazy like look at this with another right pickaxe h3 or we could maybe level things up even more get efficiency 500 another ipic ax

And check this out insta mine all of this stuff it’s crazy now remember that haze 3 isn’t actually even in the vanilla game haste 2 is the highest a beacon can go so haze 3 is like insane it’s like really really good the glowing is pretty cool too

But honestly i always play in single player so nobody’s going to ever see me glowing if you set up a glowberry farm and am at this farm this food is going to be pretty easy to get stocked up on too one glowberry eight amethyst showers and you’re actually gonna get eight of these

Things the amethyst charm is really cool it’s gonna be useful in tight situations to craft this thing you’re gonna need eight gold ingots so maybe gold farm for a large amount of these things and an amethyst cluster grass recipe is just like that this is the charm right here now check out my

Health it’s not exactly doing well if i use the charm instant heal all the way right back up however this charm is now useless i use the charge up on this charm it’s a used amethyst charm now if we go back inside of the crafting table the used amethyst charm is

Actually completely useless there’s nothing that we can put inside of this crafting table to make this thing actually do anything instead if we want to recharge it we’re going to drop it on the ground and then throw two shards on it just like that and then it’s going to recharge there we

Go we have it back and then i can use it again maybe i fell from a really high spot took a ton of damage need to heal instantly there you go it doesn’t matter how much health you lose one heart almost all your hearts if you use this thing

Right back to full health i honestly love the idea of this thing it’s so cool the only thing that i would change in the middle of minecraft is this recipe because with a gold farm and an amphithose farm this is so cheap i feel like something like this

Should be a little bit more expensive so maybe like gold blocks all the way around this thing because this is so overpowered also maybe it’s like uses are limited or something like that but it’s so cool like you literally just take damage and then you can heal right

Back up you don’t have to worry about eating and like a boss fight like the with a fight something like that this would be so clutch like it’s so cool like i literally just use it and then heal like instantly and the thing is massive

Too like look at this thing this is way bigger than my head the amethyst shard is sweet it’s probably my favorite one i feel like the use is really unique it’s cool but moving on this next thing is insanely overpowered it’s definitely the strongest thing in this pack by far

The amethyst totem of undying so just like the normal tote if i’m dying to use this thing it has to go in your off hand once you put it in your offhand some crazy things are gonna happen so it’s nighttime let’s say i was in the

Field and then the zombies came at me right i could run up and take the zombies out or i could just hold this totem in my off hand let the zombies get near me and they’ll get taken out for me that’s what the totem does right there this totem

Basically creates like a force field around me and takes out zombies and skeletons for me like i don’t even have to do anything i just need to stand near them and they’re gone and they go away so quick too like look at this like like they go out and they they’re

Gone they’re gone literally gone other than the force field this is gonna work like a normal totem if i get taken out it’s gonna work heal me bring me back to life and it’s gonna go away this thing is insane like it’s crazy you imagine you set up a mob farm

All you have to do is stand near the mall farm just completely afk with this thing in your hand and in safety and the mobs will literally be taken out for you insane crazy crazy mind blowing not another thing says to not use it by a creeper i’m not too sure why

I wanted to see um i’m not sure i guess it’s gone so maybe don’t use it with the creeper to craft this tank you really don’t need that many things either all you’re gonna need is a totem of undying two amethyst clusters so you have to soak touch those

Things and then amethyst shards on the side and there you go you upgrade your totem up and dying to amethyst totem of undying if you’re playing with this pack this is a no-brainer upgrade why would you not upgrade your totem and give it a brand new effect with some really really cheap materials

For sure this thing is awesome it’s a really really cool idea like a force field that travels around you three blocks out every single direction but without a doubt no way would this ever be in vanilla minecraft there’s just not a possibility at all but it’s so cool

And it’s so strong like insane but don’t worry it’s not too overpowered this thing will only take out zombies and skeletons if i’m near like a cow or a villager a pig or a horse or anything like that it’s not gonna take them out it won’t

Take the creeper out either it will only take out zombies and skeletons the amethyst update amethyst tools amethyst charm yes or no what else should amethyst be used for throw it down in the comments like i said in the beginning this pack is huge there’s copper tools there are

So many other changes glow squid changes it’s pretty crazy if you’d like to see more of this pack showcase to leave a like on this one big thank you to certified gamers glaivers and reikmann i hope you all enjoyed the video has made me your boy i’ll see you next time goodbye You
