Red Sandstone is a upcoming solid block. It is found naturally at entrances of mesa caves, and can also be crafted from red sand. Unlike regular sandstone, it does not generate under piles of sand.

Chiseled Red Sandstone is a decorative form of red sandstone with a wither carving on it.

Smooth Sandstone is a decorative form of red sandstone with a smoother texture.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Red Sandstone generates naturally at cave entrances in mesa biomes. The amount of Red Sandstone that generates is highly variable; some caves may generate a large amount of Red Sandstone, while others may generate just one block.

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. === Chest loot === {{LootChestItem|amethyst-shard}} == Usage == === Crafting ingredient === {{Crafting usage}} === Smithing ingredient === {{Smithing |head=1 |ingredients=Any Armor Trim +<br/>Any Armor Piece + <br/>Amethyst Shard |Any Armor Trim Smithing Template |Netherite Chestplate |Amethyst Shard |Amethyst Trim Netherite Chestplate |showdescription=1 |description = All armor types can be used in this recipe;<br/>a netherite chestplate is shown as an example.<br/> |tail=1 }} ;Trim color palette The following color palette is shown on the designs on trimmed armor: *{{TrimPalette|amethyst shard}} === 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. == Sounds == {{Edition|Java}}: {{Sound table |sound=Amethyst shimmer.ogg |subtitle=Amethyst chimes |source=neutral |description=When an amethyst shard duplicates an allay |id=block.amethyst_block.chime |translationkey=subtitles.block.amethyst_block.chime |volume=0.4 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{Edition|Bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Amethyst shimmer.ogg |source=block |description=When an amethyst shard duplicates an allay |id=chime.amethyst_block |volume=1.0 |pitch=0.5-1.7 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Amethyst Shard |spritetype=item |nameid=amethyst_shard |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Amethyst Shard |spritetype=item |nameid=amethyst_shard |form=item |id=625 |foot=1}} ==History== {{History||October 3, 2020|link={{ytl|DBvZ2Iqmm3M|t=23m14s}}|Amethyst shards are mentioned, but not shown at [[Minecraft Live 2020]].}} {{History|java}} {{History||1.17|snap=20w45a|[[File:Amethyst Shard JE1.png|32px]] Added amethyst shards.}} {{History|||snap=20w46a|[[File:Amethyst Shard JE2 BE1.png|32px]] The texture for amethyst shards has changed.}} {{History||1.19|snap=22w13a|Amethyst shards can now be found in [[ancient city]] [[chest]]s.}} {{History||1.19.1|snap=22w24a|Amethyst shards can now be used to duplicate [[allay]]s.}} {{History||1.20<br>(Experimental)|link=1.19.4|snap=23w04a|Amethyst shards can now be used as an armor trim material.}} {{History||1.20|snap=23w12a|Amethyst shards can now be used to craft [[calibrated sculk sensor]]s.}} {{History|bedrock}} {{History||1.17.0|snap=beta 1.17.0.50|[[File:Amethyst Shard JE2 BE1.png|32px]] Added amethyst shards.}} {{History|||snap=beta 1.17.0.52|Amethyst shards are now available without enabling [[Experimental Gameplay]].}} {{History||1.19.0|snap=beta 1.19.0.26|Amethyst shards can now be found in [[ancient city]] [[chest]]s.}} {{History||1.19.10|snap=beta 1.19.10.22|Amethyst shards can now be used to duplicate allays.}} {{History||1.20.0<br>(Experimental)|link=Bedrock Edition 1.19.80|snap=beta 1.19.80.21|Amethyst shards can now be used as an armor trim material.}} {{History|||snap=beta 1.19.80.22|Amethyst shards can now be used to craft calibrated sculk sensors.}} {{History|foot}} ==Issues== {{issue list}} ==Trivia== * Although in real life {{w|amethyst}} is a variety of {{w|quartz}} like [[Nether Quartz|nether quartz]], the two resources are not interchangeable. == External Links == *[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/taking-inventory--amethyst-shard Taking Inventory: Amethyst Shard] – Minecraft.net on May 20, 2021 {{Items}} [[Category:Renewable resources]] [[de:Amethystscherbe]] [[es:Fragmento de amatista]] [[fr:Éclat d'améthyste]] [[it:Scheggia di ametista]] [[ja:アメジストの欠片]] [[lzh:紫水玉片]] [[pl:Odłamek ametystu]] [[pt:Fragmento de ametista]] [[ru:Осколок аметиста]] [[uk:Уламок аметисту]] [[zh:紫水晶碎片]]</li><li>[[Chalkboard|Chalkboard]]<br/>{{Education feature}} {{unobtainable|edition=be}}{{Block |image=<gallery> Chalkboard Slate.png|Slate Chalkboard Poster.png|Poster Chalkboard Board.png|Board </gallery> |invimage=Slate |invimage2=Poster |invimage3=Board |transparent=Yes |renewable=No |light=No |tool=None |stackable=Yes (16) |flammable=No }} A '''chalkboard''' is a [[block]] that can display more text than a [[sign]].<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/support/knowledge-base/using-slates-posters-boards/</ref> Three sizes are available: 1×1 (slate), 2×1 (poster), and 3×2 (board). == Obtaining == In ''[[Education Edition]]'', chalkboards can be obtained in the [[Creative inventory]] or through the {{cmd|give}} command. In ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'', chalkboards cannot be obtained by commands or the creative inventory, and can only be obtained by using glitches or inventory editors. == Usage == A chalkboard can be used similarly to a [[sign]], to display text. Once placed, select the chalkboard and enter the desired text and click the "OK" button. The "×" in the upper right corner of the board closes the edit screen. === Placement === Chalkboards may be placed on the top or side of other blocks (including non-solid blocks like [[fence]]s, [[glass]], [[rail]]s, and other chalkboards). To place a chalkboard, {{control|use}} a chalkboard item while pointing at the block the chalkboard should be attached to. To place a chalkboard on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the chalkboard. 1×1 slates placed on the top of a block stand on a short post, facing in the direction of the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. 2×1 posters and 2×3 boards can be placed in any of 4 different directions. Chalkboards placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the chalkboards. === Text === When entering text, six lines of text are available for the slates and posters, while fifteen lines of text are available for the 2×3 boards. To switch between lines, the player can press Enter or the up/down arrow keys. The location of text currently selected has a flashing cursor. While editing, typing and backspacing can occur at any point in the line by moving the cursor using the left and right arrow keys. Once the end of the line has been reached, the word is hyphenated and is continued on the next line. After the editing window is closed, right-clicking on a chalkboard reopens the editing menu. Copy and paste can be performed, and no more than the basic/shifted keyboard characters may be entered. === Interaction === Chalkboards act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so {{control|sneaking}} is required to place blocks or use items while the cursor is pointed at them. Unlike signs, boards block a [[piston]] from moving. Boards have no collision box (they are completely non-solid), so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through boards blocks. Other blocks (including other boards) can be placed on any edge of a board. [[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around boards. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to boards as if the boards were flammable, but the boards do not burn. == Sounds == {{Sound table/Block/Stone/BE}} == Data values == === ID === {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Block |spritename=chalkboard |spritetype=block |nameid=chalkboard |id=230 |form=block |translationkey=tile.chalkboard.oneByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.twoByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.threeByTwo.name}} {{ID table |displayname=Item |spritename=board |spritetype=item |nameid=board |translationkey=tile.chalkboard.oneByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.twoByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.threeByTwo.name |id=454 |form=item |foot=1}} === Metadata === {{see also|Data values}} Chalkboards uses the following data values: *Slate: 1 *Board: 2 *Poster: 3 <!--{{/DV}}--> === Block states === {{see also|Block states}} {{info needed}} <!--{{/BS}}--> == History == {{History|pocket alpha}} {{History||v0.16.0|snap=build 1|[[File:Chalkboard Slate.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard Poster.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard Board.png|32px]]<br>[[File:Chalkboard_Slate_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard_Poster_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard_Board_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] Added chalkboards, likely as an accidental addition. |Chalkboards can be obtained and placed using the {{cmd|give}} and {{cmd|setblock}} [[command]]s respectively.

Trivia

• The Chiseled Red Sandstone also has an "H" and a "C" on it, under the Wither. It is currently unknown what they represent
• The idea of the Wither appearing on Chiseled Red Sandstone was suggested by Reddit user ULiopleurodon.
• Jeb stated that "maybe one day" he might design a desert temple-like structure to generate in mesas, using Red Sandstone and its variants.
