Amethyst Hook

The Amethyst Hook is the most easily obtainable hook available to new players. It has similar range as the Grappling Hook (at 20 blocks), but it's actually one block shorter than it (at 19 blocks), meaning that this hook can only serve as an alternative if the player has not yet acquired a Hook from a Skeleton and/or Piranha, or even bought it from the Goblin Tinkerer by the time the player had acquired 15 Amethyst.
