Design Proposal for the Amethyst System（Part 4 of 9)

(II).Resource Loop: (1).Regular Amethyst Block & Amethyst Buds can be crushed into Amethyst Powder, but some material is lost in the process. (2).Breaking Flawless Budding Amethyst -> Flawless Amethyst. (3).Flawless Amethyst Shards -> regular Amethyst Block. (4).Amethyst Buds can be attached to and detached from Budding Amethyst without being broken. (5).Players can shrink Amethyst Buds by tapping them with a tool. (6).Crafting Example: 16x F Amethyst Shards -> 8x F Small Amethyst Buds -> 4x F Medium Amethyst Buds -> 2x F Large Amethyst Buds -> 1x F Amethyst. (7).Flawless Budding Amethyst cannot be crafted, just like Monster Spawners. (8).Flawless Budding Amethyst requires strict growth conditions, such as being below Y=40 and being surrounded by sufficient Regular Amethyst Blocks. (9).More nearby Regular Amethyst Blocks strengthen the resonance, increasing the growth speed of Amethyst Buds on Flawless Budding Amethyst. (10).Flawless Growing Amethyst Blocks can be harvested with Silk Touch. (11).Together, the mechanics described above establish the Amethyst System’s resource cycle and growth system, allowing players to choose how they harvest, transform, and cultivate amethyst resources, as well as how they design and grow Amethyst Geodes to suit their own needs, whether small or large.
