Natural generation[edit]
Budding amethyst generates naturally in amethyst geodes as part of the inner block of amethyst layer.
Usage[edit]
Each time it receives a random tick, the chance is similar to the growth of cocoa pods with a budding amethyst having a 20% chance of creating amethyst clusters on any of its sides as long as that particular side is only covered in air or water.
