The block of amethyst is a compact block crafted from amethyst shards.
Obtaining
Breaking
A block of amethyst drops as an item if mined with an iron pickaxe. When mined using lower tier pickaxes or any other tool, it drops nothing.

- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Natural generation
Blocks of amethyst make up amethyst geodes, found randomly underground. The blocks of amethyst form as the inner wall of the geode, with calcite and tuff making up the next two outer layers.

A '''minecart with hopper''' is a [[minecart]] with a [[hopper]] inside. Unlike a normal hopper, it pulls items from containers much more quickly, cannot push items into containers, can collect [[Item (entity)|item entities]] through a single layer of [[solid block]]s and is locked and unlocked via [[Activator Rail|activator rails]].

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Output= Minecart with Hopper
|type= Transportation
|Hopper|Minecart}}
Minecarts with hoppers can be retrieved by attacking them. By doing so it drop as an [[item (entity)|item]] and any other contents of the hopper are dropped as well.
== Usage ==
[[File:Minecart with Hopper GUI.png|thumb|176px|The GUI of a minecart with hopper.]]
Minecarts with hoppers are placed similarly to other [[minecart]]s.
A minecart with hopper pulls in items lying nearby (within a range slightly larger than the cart itself), or inside a container directly above the minecart, at a rate of 1 item every [[game tick]] (20 items per second), eight times as fast as a normal hopper. It also picks up items that are lying on a block directly above the track. It does not push items into containers, but a hopper underneath the track can remove items from a minecart with hopper on the track. Ordinary hoppers can also drop items into a minecart with hopper like other containers, at the normal speed of 2.5 items per second. In Bedrock Edition, a minecart with hopper on curved rail pulls in items in a hopper lying in front of its moving direction and 1 block above if hopper's output funnel is pointed downward and no block is below that hopper.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-94293}}</ref>
The hopper can be disabled by passing over a powered [[activator rail]], and can be reenabled by an inactive activator rail.
An empty minecart with hopper can travel more than 85 blocks without stopping (as opposed to a normal cart going less than 12 blocks) from a dead stop using a 2 powered track starter even with another cart in front of them. However, the distance traveled by a minecart with hopper depends on the hopper's load. Using a 1 powered rail starter track, a minecart with an empty hopper travels 64 blocks until it stops (as opposed to an empty normal minecart going 8 blocks). The distance traveled diminishes non-linearly with increased hopper load; a minecart with a full hopper can travel only 16 blocks in this setup.

== Sounds ==

Minecarts with hoppers use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.<ref group=sound name=rollsource>{{bug|MC-42132}}</ref>
