Template:For Template:Infobox block A block of quartz, internally known as a quartz block, is a mineral Minecraft:block used for decoration. It can be turned into a quartz slab, chiseled quartz block, quartz pillar, quartz bricks, or smooth quartz block.
Obtaining
Breaking
Blocks of quartz can be mined using any Minecraft:pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Template:Breaking row
Natural generation
Four quartz blocks generate naturally as part of each bridge in the bastion remnant.

Usage
Quartz blocks cannot be used to store Nether quartz because they cannot be crafted back into it, unlike blocks made from other Minecraft:ores.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Issues
Trivia
- Because of the low blast resistance of regular quartz blocks, it may be preferable to use two quartz slabs or smooth quartz blocks when making fortifications using quartz, as their blast resistance is higher than the other quartz block variants.
- In real life, a 1-cubic-meter block of quartz (the size of a Minecraft block) is practically harder than the real life block of iron, while the hardness of a block of quartz in Minecraft is quite low.
