About the Amethyst Geode Finder
Amethyst geodes are round underground pockets with a smooth basalt shell, a calcite layer, and a core of amethyst blocks and glowing amethyst clusters. They were added in 1.17. Budding amethyst inside keeps growing new crystals, so a geode near your base becomes a renewable amethyst farm. A geode finder shows you where to dig.
What you get on this page:
- Closest geodes first: the 12 nearest geodes to spawn or any X and Z
- Exact X and Z: dig down at the right spot
- Copy and go: a ready /tp command for each geode
- Zoomed map: geodes show when you zoom in on the seed map
How to Use the Amethyst Geode Finder

Geodes exist since 1.17 (Caves & Cliffs Part I).
Step 3: Find Geodes
Leave Search from blank to search around spawn, or type any X and Z, then press Find geodes.
Step 4: Dig Down
Geodes can generate anywhere from deep underground up to around Y 30. Dig a staircase down and look for smooth basalt.

How to Farm Amethyst
Budding amethyst can’t be picked up, even with Silk Touch. Leave it in place, light up the geode, and come back to harvest fully grown clusters with a pickaxe.
Java and Bedrock
The finder supports Java 1.17 to the latest release. Bedrock places features with its own rules, so look for smooth basalt in caves on Bedrock.
