Better Amethyst — Complete Feature List

Items

Amethyst Dust

• What it is: Crafted from amethyst shards via Smithing. Stackable.
• Behavior: Edible — eat it for Speed II (30s), Strength II (25s), Glowing (30s).
• Recipe: Smithing template (amethyst shard) + 1 amethyst shard base + 1 amethyst shard addition → 3 amethyst dust.

Amethyst Carrot

• What it is: Edible food item.

• Recipe: Shaped 3×3 — center is a vanilla carrot, surrounded by 8 amethyst dust → 9 amethyst carrots.

Refined Amethyst Crystal

• What it is: Single-stack tool item.
• Behavior: Right-click to dash 5 blocks forward in your look direction. Blends prior velocity with the dash so it feels natural during sprinting/falling. Up-look adds extra lift. 3-second cooldown. Plays ender-teleport sound.
• Recipe: Shaped pattern of gold ingots and amethyst dust.

Vibration Detector

• What it is: Single-stack tool item.
• Behavior: While holding + sneaking, applies Glowing to every living entity in a 25-block radius.

Amethyst Mirror

  • Right-click while looking at a mob: Links to that mob.
  • Right-click while linked: Swaps positions with the linked entity (up to 50 blocks apart).
  • Shift+right-click while linked: Toggles spectate-through-eyes mode — your camera switches to the linked entity's view. You stay frozen in place at your saved spot. Shift+right-click again to return.

• Recipe: Shaped with diamonds, iron ingots, and amethyst dust.

Crystalline Anchor

• What it is: Single-stack tool item, shatters when used.
• Behavior: Two-stage save/restore.
  • First right-click (Set): Saves your position, yaw/pitch, HP, hunger, saturation, and active status effects into NBT.
  • Second right-click (Restore): Teleports you back to the saved position, restores HP/hunger/saturation, re-applies all saved status effects.

• Recipe: Shaped with amethyst dust, ender pearls, amethyst shard.

Amethyst Lantern (formerly "Soul Harvester")

• What it is: Single-stack tool item with NBT-stored captured mob data.
• Behavior:
  • Right-click in air: Harvests every mob in a 10-block radius of the same entity type as the first one captured. Stores full mob NBT (so when released, the mob keeps its name, HP, effects, custom data). Caps at 10 souls.
  • Players caught in the harvest zone: Applied Soulless status effect for 60 seconds (instead of being captured).
  • Mobs with > 150 HP: The lantern shatters (you're guaranteed to survive at ≥ 2 HP).
  • Right-click block: Release one captured soul at the block face.
  • Sneak + right-click block: Release all souls at once.
• Recipe: Shaped — netherite block surrounding amethyst dust.

Amethyst Gauntlet (formerly "Sonic Gauntlet")

• What it is: Single-stack combat item.
• Behavior: Right-click fires a 40-block beam.
  • Hits the first valid entity in the beam path for 15~ sonic-boom damage (armor-bypassing) + 1.5-strength knockback.
  • 3.5-second cooldown.
• Recipe: Shaped 3×3 — vibration detectors + music disc 5 + amethyst dust + gold ingots + netherite scrap.
