Reason: just plainly called "Geode" as a configured feature - see also the reasoning on mossy cobblestone boulder. ‎ 13:30, 13 February 2021‎


 * Just the word "Geode" may confuse some new users. "Amethyst Geode" is more specific, and therefore less confusing. Although they are internally known as geodes. --Illagercaptain (talk | contribs | website) 01:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * . The word "geode" won't confuse anyone; the word has just one meaning: a secondary geologic formation within volcanic and sedimentary rock. "Amethyst geode" is needlessly redundant if there's only one kind of geode in the game. The fact that the formation is designated "geode" internally is a strong argument for renaming the article. Absent any official alternate naming from Mojang, we have no business making up a name, and should use the known internal name that Mojang uses. Amatulic (talk) 02:33, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * . While I support moving because "geode" is its internal name, I also oppose due to the changelog reffering it as "amethyst geode" TheGreatSpring (talk | contribs) (Tagalog translation) 02:49, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * . The structure is refered to as "amethyst geode" by official sources (such as the changelogs). for a redirect given that it's also sometimes refered to as just "geode", and it's its namespace ID. Pescavelho (talk) 08:13, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * . In-game names should take priority over other sources if possible. Other structures are referred to by ID.--Canarussia (talk) 15:23, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * . I agree, it is confusing and amethyst is hard to spell. 174.62.155.94 17:00, 14 June 2021 (UTC)


 * . I have same opinion as Pescavelho. xrup (Talk) Magma Cube jumping.gif 17:42 26.2.2021
 * with consistancy with canyon and ravine. Canyon is the actual name, therefore the cave title. However, in some tweets by Henrik Kniberg, he says ravine. Also consistant with forest rock. Only thing preventing me from strong support is the fact that it is mentioned by official sources, not just developer tweets.Humiebeetalk contribs 13:36, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It was introduced as "Amethyst Geode" in MINECRAFT Live, so I am not comfortable with changing the name. Pneuma01 (talk) 15:55, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Amethyst Geode Is More Specific, Is Less Confusing, And Sounds Better Andexter (talk) 15:23, 10 June 2021 (UTC)


 * While It is true that it's referred to as "geode" internally, Mojang have been referring to it as "Amethyst Geode" in their feature showcases and changelogs. I also think it's a good idea to keep it as Amethyst Geode as I believe most people are referring to them like that when talking about it, youtubers in their videos (This is important as the majority of players don't read the changelogs, instead they watch videos on it.) and such. And on top of that, Minecraft's playerbase has a lot of children and they might get confused if it's referred to as "Geode" instead of an "Amethyst Geode" in the minecraft wiki.

 * That's its name in the game files, and the Mojang devs have used it in some changelogs. I don't think reading "geode" instead of "amethyst geode" would confuse anyone, and there's no need to be more specific as it's the only kind of geode in the game.--Capopanzo (talk) 17:35, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
