A new shard of
Minecraft.

Movement is Amethyst's flagship mode: timed courses where you build and bridge your way to the finish as fast as you can. Courses are sorted into categories like Techniques, Obstacle and Bedwars, so there's always something to practice. Every run is timed to the tick, your personal bests are saved, and you can watch your replays to see exactly where you lost time. Turn on practice blocks to drill a tricky section, then shave it down until it's clean.

• Reset runRestart instantly, right from your hotbar
• Practice blocksDrill one section without redoing the whole course
• Island switcherHop between islands of the same course
• ReplaysWatch your runs back to see where you lost time
• Personal bestsEvery course saves your best time, with optional PB fireworks
• Blocks and tool shopSpend coins on new building blocks and tools
• Hotbar layoutPut every item where you want it

Duels is head-to-head PvP, decided over a best of three. Pick your kit and queue up: Sword for classic fights, or Mace for high-flying battles with wind charges, ender pearls and totems. Want to warm up first? Jump into a bot duel and practice your combos before taking on real players. Every round is a fresh start, so one bad fight doesn't decide the match.

• Best of threeWin two rounds to take the match
• Sword kitClassic diamond sword fights
• Mace kitNetherite, two maces, wind charges, pearls, golden apples, a shield and totems
• Bot duelsWarm up against a bot before queuing for real
• Live heartsSee your opponent's health above their head
• Duel scoreboardRound, ping, health and match time at a glance

Map Maker hands you a blank plot and lets you build your own course. Choose a type (Parkour, Movement, Sequences or Memory), place a start and a finish, and beat your own map before you can publish it. Once it's live, anyone can play it, and every map gets its own top 10 leaderboard. Higher ranks get more map slots, so you can keep a whole collection going.

• Four map typesParkour, Movement, Sequences and Memory
• CheckpointsIron plates save your progress when you fall
• Finish plateA gold plate marks the end of the map
• Set startPick exactly where runs begin
• Test before publishingYou have to beat your own map before anyone can play it
• Player hotbarChoose the items and blocks players get on logic maps
• Reset and hotbar layoutRestart any time and arrange your items
• Top 10Every published map has its own leaderboard

Clutching is all about saving yourself at the last second. You'll get knocked off edges and dropped from heights, and it's on you to land it, whether that's a water bucket, a well-timed block, or something smarter. It's built to train the reactions that win real fights and runs. Details are still being worked out, so expect this one to grow during Early Access.

Bridging is pure building speed. Get from one side to the other as fast and as cleanly as you can, then do it again until the technique is second nature. Every run is timed, so you can measure real progress instead of guessing. Like Clutching, it's still being shaped, so the exact setup may change before it's ready.

Logic/Puzzles trades raw speed for problem solving. In Sequences, you step on numbered targets in the right order, and one wrong step sends you back to the start. In Memory, the path is shown until you move, then it vanishes and you have to remember it. Every puzzle has its own leaderboard, and there's a daily word game called Blockle for when you just want a quick brain warm-up.

• SequencesStep on numbered targets in order; a wrong step sends you back to #1
• Hidden bridgesSome targets make new blocks appear when you hit them
• MemoryThe path vanishes the moment you move
• LeaderboardsEvery puzzle ranks the top 10 times
• BlockleA daily 5-letter Minecraft word, with streaks and a daily board
