Amethyst Plus
Amethyst has always been one of Minecraft's most underused resources. You mine it, craft a spyglass, maybe build a few decorative blocks, and then it just sits in a chest. Amethyst Plus changes that completely by turning those shiny purple shards into a full progression tier that sits above netherite. If you have ever wanted your amethyst collection to actually matter in combat and mining, this add-on delivers exactly that.
What Amethyst Plus Adds to Minecraft
At its core, Amethyst Plus introduces a brand new material tier built around the Amethyst Ingot. This ingot becomes the foundation for a complete set of gear: tools, armor, and a dedicated sword. The result is equipment that outperforms netherite, giving late-game players something meaningful to work toward after they have already conquered the Nether and ancient cities.
The add-on is designed for Fabric, and it supports Minecraft 1.17.1 as well as 1.19.4. Each version has its own crafting recipe set, so the experience stays balanced and consistent with the vanilla progression of that release.
Crafting Recipes and Progression
Minecraft 1.17.1 Recipes
On 1.17.1, the crafting path is straightforward and rewarding. You combine eight Amethyst Shards with a single Netherite Ingot in a crafting table to produce one Amethyst Ingot. From there, the smithing table takes over, letting you upgrade your existing netherite gear instead of starting from scratch.
- Amethyst Ingot: 8 Amethyst Shards surrounding 1 Netherite Ingot
- Amethyst Tools: Netherite Tools plus an Amethyst Ingot in a Smithing Table
- Amethyst Sword: Netherite Sword plus an Amethyst Ingot in a Smithing Table
- Amethyst Armor: Netherite Armor plus an Amethyst Ingot in a Smithing Table
- Amethyst Block: 9 Amethyst Ingots in a Crafting Table
Minecraft 1.19.4 Recipes
The 1.19.4 version expands the system with a new intermediate material called Melted Amethyst. Instead of relying purely on shards, you now need a mix of resources, which makes the tier feel more earned. Melted Amethyst is obtained by smelting an Amethyst Ingot, creating an interesting loop where the ingot is both an input and an output at different stages.
- Amethyst Ingot: 4 Amethyst Shards, 4 Melted Amethyst, and 1 Netherite Ingot
- Melted Amethyst: smelt an Amethyst Ingot in a furnace
- Amethyst Tools, Sword, and Armor: upgrade from netherite in a Smithing Table
- Amethyst Block: 9 Amethyst Ingots in a Crafting Table
If you are ready to try it, you can download Amethyst Plus and drop it into your mods folder to get started right away. For players who want a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher makes installing Amethyst Plus a one-click affair, pulling the correct build for your game version automatically so you never have to hunt down matching files.
How to Install Amethyst Plus for Minecraft
Getting the add-on running is quick, especially if you already use Fabric. Here is the basic process.
- Install the Fabric Loader and Fabric API for your chosen Minecraft version.
- Download Amethyst Plus for Minecraft from a trusted source.
- Place the .jar file into your mods folder.
- Launch the game using your Fabric profile.
Once in-game, gather amethyst from a geode, mine some netherite, and head to a smithing table. Within minutes you will be swinging an amethyst sword that hits harder than anything vanilla offers.
Why Amethyst Plus Is Worth Trying
Minecraft's endgame often feels like it ends the moment you finish a netherite set. Amethyst Plus for Minecraft extends that journey with a logical, well-integrated tier that respects vanilla crafting conventions. The smithing table upgrades mean you never waste your existing gear, and the amethyst block gives builders a new decorative option with real utility.
Whether you are a survival purist looking for a fresh challenge or a modpack creator searching for a balanced late-game tier, this add-on fits naturally into almost any setup. It is lightweight, focused, and does one thing exceptionally well.
Final Thoughts
Amethyst Plus takes a resource most players ignore and transforms it into the strongest gear in the game. With support for 1.17.1 and 1.19.4 on Fabric, distinct recipe systems for each version, and seamless smithing table upgrades, it is an easy recommendation for anyone wanting more depth from their Minecraft progression. Grab your pickaxe, stock up on shards, and see what a full amethyst loadout can do.
