Small Amethyst Bud is the first growth stage of an Amethyst Cluster, naturally generating on Budding Amethyst within amethyst geodes. Over time, it grows into a Medium Amethyst Bud, then a Large Amethyst Bud, before reaching its final stage as an Amethyst Cluster, which drops Amethyst Shards when mined.
Small Amethyst Buds emit a light level of 1 and can be placed decoratively on solid blocks with a full surface. They produce a faint crystalline sound when interacted with or struck by projectiles.
