Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Amethyst Cluster is a stone-family block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. Hardness 1.5 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
Breaking it produces Amethyst Shard. It gives off a dim light level 5, enough to see by but not to stop mobs spawning. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 1.5 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64. Nothing is crafted from it.
