Amethyst Additions
by Lon4th
Amethyst Additions gives Minecraft amethysts new items and vanilla-style features, including lamps, blocks, colored water cauldrons and shields.
What it does
The mod adds an Amethyst Lamp and an Amethyst Block, and tints water cauldrons and allays with colors that players can choose. Colored amethysts and colored enchantments extend the same palette, so the new content reads as part of the vanilla game. Amethyst Shield is the main equipment addition.
Fabric API and Shield Lib are required, and MidnightLib is optional. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the server owner is the one who needs the files. Builds exist for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, with 0.1.5 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, published on 2025-04-21 after a first release on 2024-02-19. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Amethyst Lamp
A lamp block made from amethyst, placed in buildings and decorative schemes like other light sources.
Amethyst Block

Colored water cauldrons
