I have been playing Minecraft for a few years now on PC and I've always had a deep interest in the Nether. In my opinion, it is one of the most interesting parts of minecraft because it is so mysterious. I have been fascinated by the fact that you can find amethyst on fire in the nether and you don't know why, and wanting to know the reason why is the reason I started playing Minecraft. This article will tell you all about what amethyst in minecraft is and how it got there.
What is Amethyst
When players first start out in Minecraft
they are mainly concerned with collecting as much precious resources such as
gold, diamond, glowstone, etc… for their house.
There isn't much thought about other
resources that might be available in Minecraft other than those listed above,
and even if players do come across amethyst it is usually out of curiousity and
they say to themselves "amethyst? what's this for?" This leaves many
people wondering why there is amethyst in the nether, and how it got there.
So, What is amethyst? Amethyst is a
purple crystal that can be found in the nether. It cannot be crafted into
anything, but it can be put into an enchanting table to make enchantment
stronger or bookshelves to increase enchantment level by up to 30%
Where to Find Amethyst Minecraft
Amethyst is found in the nether, and only
comes out on fire. The best way to find amethyst in Minecraft is to make a
Nether portal in your home base and travel back and forth through it.
As you go back and forth between the
overworld using a nether portal, your amethyst will pop out on the fire every
time you go through a portal. If you are in creative mode, then this is really
simple. You can just hold down the shift key and go back and forth through the
portal in creative mode to collect your amethyst in no time at all.
If you do not yet have a nether portal
set up so you can access the nether, there is another way to find amethyst.
Nether fortresses are found only in the nether and they have a 33% chance of
having an amethyst vein inside them.
Nether Fortress Location:
To find a nether fortress location in
Minecraft, you must first go down to the bottom of the nether. When you have
made it to the bottom of the Nether near bedrock level, use the following
method to find a nether fortres. First, look up and you will see 3 paths with
stairs on them.
Path 1:
To the right of the staircase in path 1
is an opening inbetween two walls that either leads to nowhere or it takes you
to a room where there are 2 zombie pigmen. If you go into that room and mine the
left or right sides of it, then there is a good chance you will find a nether
fortress. If you find a nether fortress this way, then congratulations, you
have found your first one!
Path 2:
To the left of the staircase in path 2 is
an opening that takes you to a small room with two zombie pigmen inside. If you
kill both of them, then there is another chance that there will be a nether
fortress behind where the one zombie pigman was standing.
Path 3:
If you make it past both zombie pigmen
rooms and you still haven't found a nether fortress, then look up above the
staircase to see if there is any kind of opening between two walls. If there is
an opening like this above the stairway on path 3, then make your way through
the opening and mine the sides as you go. When you get through this opening,
there is a good chance you will find a nether fortress.
Conclusion
If you have found a nether fortress in
either of these 3 paths, then congratulations! You have just found your first
nether fortress.
The only way to know for sure if there is
an amethyst vein in the nether fortress is to go down into it and see if ore is
spawning. If it isn't, go back up to the surface and then come back down again.
