[MCPE-130933] Budding amethyst does not drop itself when broken

Budding amethyst doesn't break

I've tried to break the budding amethyst with both a silk touch and a fortune 3 pickaxe (both of which have other enchantments on it) and in both scenarios it doesn't break. There are two images: one before the geode was broken and one after. As you can see, the torch-- which was placed onto the block in question-- was broken and collected into my inventory. However, the budding geode amethyst was broken and no item entity was generated. At the time the picture was taken, I had used my silk touch pickaxe, which also includes unbreaking 3, efficiency 4 and mending (in that order). The same problem occurs with my Fortune 3 pickaxe, which has unbreaking 3, mending, and efficiency 4 (in that order). The non-budding amethysts do however breack and I can collect them.

Budding Amethyst isn’t supposed to drop anything? Then you could just grab tons of it, bring it back to base, and create an infinite amethyst farm

And what's wrong with that? Isn't it already an infinite farm anyway? It's more inefficient to have to go there every time I have to get more amethyst and because the general area isn't loaded so that will cause more problems than it can benefit. I'm not trying to be rude, and I'm sorry if I am, but we already have many types of farms... What's the harm with this one?

Budding amethysts are supposed to be unobtainable. https://youtu.be/DWZIfsaIgtE?t=6545

i made an account on here after 9 years just to say how frustrating it is that you don't even have the option to mine these with silk touch because "they aren't supposed to be obtainable". i agree that it makes more sense to go to a geode for the sake of it being exclusive, but to not even have the ability to choose an alternative feels totally arbitrary and poorly considered. you're not supposed to mine ice, but that's what silk touch is for.
