Minecraft 1.18 update is coming tomorrow on November 30. The long-awaited update for Minecraft will finally be available to players soon. The update will feature some of the most significant changes and new additions, which means building farms in Minecraft will also change.

Farms have been an unofficial feature in Minecraft for a long time. Players find new and efficient ways to get an abundance of a particular item with the help of various contraptions. With the Minecraft 1.18 update, players will be able to build some more interesting farms for new items in the game.

However, Amethyst is common in Minecraft 1.17. Amethyst shards inside the geodes can be considered a great item to farm in Minecraft 1.18 update. The best way to farm the most Amethyst shards is to mine them with a good fortune pickaxe manually.

There are other ways to automatically farm them, for example, by building a complicated redstone contraption. However, it is recommended to mine them manually.
