One of the best ways to find amethyst geodes in Minecraft is to explore your world until you stumble upon it naturally. Though time-consuming, this method stays true to the game and avoids using external methods or hacks.

Amethyst geodes are usually found in deep ocean biomes. Make sure to head out into the ocean and then dive down to the depths to look for the amethyst geodes. You will usually find them in underwater caves or trapped structures in a triple layer of smooth basalt, calcite, and the amethyst geode.
