'''Nether quartz ore''' is an [[Minecraft:ore]] found in [[Minecraft:the Nether]], and is a source of [[Minecraft:quartz]].<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
Nether quartz ore can be mined with any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]. If mined by hand, it drops nothing. If mined with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], the block drops itself. Otherwise, it drops 1 [[Minecraft:Nether quartz]] (up to 4 quartz when mined with [[Minecraft:Fortune III]]). It also drops {{xp|2|5}} when broken.<br />

<br />
=== Natural generation ===<br />
Nether quartz ore can generate in [[Minecraft:the Nether]] in the form of [[Minecraft:ore (feature)|ore blob]]s. Nether quartz ore attempts to replace [[Minecraft:netherrack]] 16 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-24, from levels 10 to 117, in all Nether biomes. {{IN|java}}, in basalt deltas, Nether quartz ore attempts to generate 32 times per chunk as there are fewer valid generation areas.<br />
<br />
{{Block distribution}}<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
The primary usage of Nether quartz ore is to [[#Breaking|mine]] it for [[Minecraft:Nether quartz]].<br />
=== Smelting ingredient ===<br />

|0.2}}<br />
<br />
Note that mining the block directly with a tool enchanted with any [[Minecraft:Fortune]] level produces more [[Minecraft:Nether quartz]].<br />
<br />
=== Note blocks ===<br />
Nether quartz ore can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.<br />
<br />
=== Sulfur cube ===<br />
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}<br />
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb Nether quartz ore, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.<br />

== Issues ==<br />
{{Issue list}}<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Breaking one Nether quartz ore provides 3.5 [[Minecraft:experience]] points on average, so breaking about 100 of them raises the player from level 0 to 16, and about 400 from level 0 to 30.<br />
* Nether quartz ore is generated as part of the dimension, while [[Minecraft:netherrack]] is generated as part of the biome.{{only|java}}<br />
** This can be seen, as when a [[Minecraft:Single biome]] world with the Nether biome is generated, there is netherrack but no quartz ore.<br />
** {{IN|bedrock}}, if the Nether is generated in the Overworld as a biome, neither netherrack nor Nether quartz ore is generated, but the terrain is completely made out of stone with bedrock ceiling.<br />
