<\/p>\n## About
\nIts core purpose is to lessen the pressure to rush for diamond tools. Amethyst tools have enough durability to act as long-term tools, unlike iron. It also rewards exploration in the early game by giving a solid tool upgrade for finding a geode.<\/p>\n
Its stats fit between iron and diamond, with some careful tuning to give it a unique identity as a material. Less impactful additions, such as armor, are purposely left out to avoid unnecessary bloat to the game.<\/p>\n
Spear not yet implemented (WIP)<\/p>\n
## Mechanics
\n– Crafted using amethyst clusters
\n– Breaking a budding amethyst block with any pickaxe now drops 1 amethyst cluster
\n– Amethyst tools have the mining level of iron, so they can’t mine obsidian
\n– Increased enchantability compared to most other tool materials<\/p>\n

## Q&A<\/p>\n
– _**Why craft using Amethyst Clusters instead of Amethyst Shards?**_<\/p>\n
I like the gameplay loop with it. It feels like there are some hoops to jump through that justify the highly enchantible, near-diamond performance. Either sacrifice budding amethyst blocks or getting lucky with some way to get silk touch early.<\/p>\n
Other amethyst equipment mods I saw used shards or their own custom amethyst material, but I felt these were each imbalanced approaches in their own ways.<\/p>\n
– _**Why limit it to only tools?**_<\/p>\n
I still prefer vanilla-like gameplay, so I only want to add things that have a clear positive impact on the vanilla gameplay loop to me. Imo, tools were all that were necessary to fill the progression gap.<\/p>\n
