Note: True Health value. (Heroes needs 21 hits to kill an elite zombie without using any weapons and effect.)
A tough zombie is a zombie variant that spawns with extra health and armor in Minecraft Dungeons. They wield either a single dagger or a sword and deal more damage than their normal counterparts.
Appearance
Tough zombies are slightly taller than normal zombies, and have more health and defense. There are two variants of tough zombies. The weaker variant wears a scale mail chestplate and a reinforced mail helmet, and holds a single dagger in a reverse grip. The stronger variant wears a helmet and chestplate made of reinforced mail, wields a normal sword, and does more damage than any other zombie.
Spawning
Tough zombies spawn when night falls, regardless of the mission, when at least one hero dies in multiplayer.

An '''amethyst shard''' is a crystal obtained from mining a fully grown [[amethyst cluster]] or can be obtained from chests in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
An [[amethyst cluster]] mined using a non-[[Silk Touch]], non-[[Fortune]] [[pickaxe]] drops 4 amethyst shards. When mined using any other tool, [[item]] or mechanism (such as [[explosion]]s or [[piston]]s) it drops 2 shards. The maximum amount of amethyst shards dropped can be increased with Fortune. Fortune I gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance for eight shards, averaging 5.33 shards; Fortune II gives a 25% chance (each) to give eight or 12 shards, averaging 7 shards, and Fortune III gives a 20% chance (each) to give 8, 12, or 16 shards, averaging 8.8 shards.
If the amethyst cluster in any of its growth stages is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself rather than amethyst shards.

=== Allay duplication ===
If an amethyst shard is given to an [[allay]] that is currently dancing to an active [[jukebox]], the allay emits heart particles, consumes the amethyst shard and duplicates into another allay. After this, there is a 5 minute cool down until both allays can be duplicated like this again.
