Even Better Amethyst (Backport)
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.16.5 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
This mod makes amethyst more usable by offering several changes. Firstly, the budding amethyst block found in geodes, which is the only block amethyst shards can grow on, can now be crafted using an amethyst block and encircled with amethyst shards, allowing amethyst to be collected more easily.
Since amethyst is now easier collected and farmed, this mod also adds several new blocks for decoration:
Blocks:
ORIGINAL PROJECT FOR 1.17 AND 1.18
Crafting Recipes:
Amethyst Lamp:
Amethyst Crystal Block:
Amethyst Bricks:
Amethyst Brick Slab:

If you wonder why it weighs so much, it is because of the fact that it uses its own sounds, for those who want to use this mod creatively without the need to use the dependency
