Amethyst Age
by Lifeagler
Amethyst Age expands the amethyst progression of vanilla Minecraft with new tools, armor, weapons, food, a crystal biome and a boss.
What it does
The mod adds a complete path built around amethyst: Amethyst Tools and an Amethyst Armor set with a crystal-inspired design, plus an Amethyst Mace, an Amethyst Bow and custom weapons. Each tool carries its own special ability. The Chopper fells an entire tree at once, and the Mining Tool mines a 3×3 area.
A new Amethyst-themed biome, the Crystal Grove, is filled with crystal decorations and exclusive resources, and amethyst ore starts the adventure. Players meet the Crystal Merchant, a new villager profession offering crystal trades, and can challenge the Crystal Warrior, a boss that is available on multiple difficulty levels. Custom advancements track progress through the mod.
The mod adds extra content on top of vanilla, including decorations, audio cues, particle effects and quality-of-life changes. It is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files exist for Fabric only, for 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.0.1, published on 2026-06-26. Amethyst Age is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.
