Benefits

Amethyst tools have +400 durability over Minecraft Netherite tools (with the added benefit of non-mending repair options). All Amethyst tools have Efficiency 2 as part of their core abilities, though they can be enchanted further.

Efficiency II: Increased mining speed when used on an appropriate block (ie Axes > Wood or Pickaxes > Stone).

Enchanting
Amethyst Pickaxes can be used in an enchanting table or combined with enchanting books in an anvil (vanilla or cantazarite).


Repair

Durability is decreased with use (mining etc) like with normal tools. 

Amethyst Pickaxes can be repaired with Cantazarite using a Cantazarite Anvil.


Known Issues

If you find an issue, please report it to our bugs channel on Discord. We ask that you look to see if your issue was reported first!

  • [-] Tools are OP in attack stats, making weapons (like the longsword) defunct.
  • [-] 1.18 Tools cannot be repaired in Cantazarite anvil - mending enchantment works. Fixed in 1.20.1
