🟣 Amethyst Guard
“Protect the growth of your Amethyst crystals.”
📖 Overview
Amethyst Guard is a lightweight and client-side Fabric mod that lets you control which stages of Amethyst growth can be mined. You can freely toggle mining permissions for each stage — from small buds to full clusters — and even protect Budding Amethyst from being broken.
💎 Prevent accidental destruction of your Amethyst farm forever!
