Crafting

There are two steps: make Blinkstone, then spend four Blinkstone on whichever shard you want. No smithing templates, no netherite, nothing gated behind a boss.

Step 1 — Blinkstone

One ender pearl with an amethyst shard above and below it. This yields two Blinkstone, so an ender pearl is worth two shards' worth of material.

A amethyst shard E ender pearl

Amethyst comes from amethyst geodes, which are fairly common underground in 26.3. One geode covers a long stretch of shards, so the real bottleneck is ender pearls.

Step 2 — the shard

Four Blinkstone in a diamond with one ingredient in the middle. The corners are always empty.

Ingredients

Shard	Middle ingredient	Where it comes from
Blink Shard	Ender pearl, plus 4 amethyst in the corners	Endermen, or a pearl from a cleric
Warp Shard	Ender eye	Ender pearl + blaze powder
Ender Shard	Chorus fruit	Chorus plants in the End
Return Shard	Compass	Iron and redstone
Feather Shard	Feather	Chickens and parrots
Void Shard	Phantom membrane	Phantoms, or a cat's gift
Ember Shard	Blaze powder	Blaze rods from a fortress
Hearth Shard	Ghast tear	Ghasts in the Nether
Tide Shard	Prismarine shard	Guardians at a monument
Gale Shard	Rabbit's foot	Rabbits, more reliably with Looting
Sight Shard	Glow ink sac	Glow squid

Blink Shard is the odd one out. It's the only recipe that uses amethyst in the corners instead of the ingredient slot, because it predates the Blinkstone material. Everything else is four Blinkstone plus one item.

What it costs in practice

A full set — one of each shard — is 44 Blinkstone plus the ingredients, which is 22 ender pearls and 44 amethyst shards at the base rate. In practice you'll make three or four shards you actually use rather than collecting all eleven.

All twelve items are in the Tools & Utilities tab, so testing doesn't require farming anything.
