Amethyst geodes can intersect ancient cities
The Bug:
Amethyst geodes can intersect ancient cities.
In some rare cases, this can cause the redstone mechanisms within ancient city centers to be obstructed.
Here is an example:
Seed: 4942781640353635955 Coordinates: /execute in minecraft:overworld run tp @s 9634.30 -51.00 -352.75 1026.75 2.81
Steps to Reproduce:
- Generate a world with the seed provided above and teleport to the given coordinates.
- Look closely at the generation of the amethyst geode and ancient city.
- Take note as to whether or not amethyst geodes can intersect ancient cities.
Observed Behavior:
Amethyst geodes can intersect ancient cities.
Expected Behavior:
Amethyst geodes would not be able to intersect ancient cities.

Ancient cities and trial chambers can intersect.
Seed: 8879501418461304687 Coordinates: /execute in minecraft:overworld run tp @s 14484 -38 -9464 -123 11
Relates to:
- Ancient city intersections
- Trial chamber intersections
- Misc
MC-266586: May make these intersections more likely, but a fix would not eliminate the issue since structures can (and do) intersect ancient cities after beginning their generation from outside the deep dark.
MC-266446 doesn't quite meet the criteria for issue relation but is worth keeping an eye on, since if it were fixed, the nature of the trial chamber-ancient city interaction could be affected, potentially negatively.





I can also confirm this behavior. Here's another example. MC-249922 - 22w14a.png
Just to add to this, I feel as if the core problem here is amethyst geodes being able to intersect the generation of ancient cities, and as a result, this sometimes can destroy the redstone mechanisms within ancient city centers.
