Template:Redr when broken. Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Natural generation

Nether quartz ore can generate in Minecraft:the Nether in the form of ore blobs. 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 Template:Editions, in basalt deltas, Nether quartz ore attempts to generate 32 times per chunk as there are fewer valid generation areas.

Usage

The primary usage of Nether quartz ore is to mine it for Nether quartz.

Smelting ingredient

Template:Smelting

Trivia

  • Breaking one Nether quartz ore provides 3.5 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.
  • Nether quartz ore is generated as part of the dimension, while Minecraft:netherrack is generated as part of the biome.Template:Only
    • This can be seen, as when a Single biome world with the Nether biome is generated, there is netherrack but no quartz ore.
    • in Template:Editions, 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.
