Minecraft:Block of Quartz

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, Minecraft:chiseled quartz block, Minecraft:quartz pillar, Minecraft:quartz bricks, or Minecraft:smooth quartz block.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Four quartz blocks generate naturally as part of each bridge in the Minecraft:bastion remnant.

Usage

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

Note blocks

Blocks of quartz can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb blocks of quartz, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.

History

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 Minecraft:block of iron, while the hardness of a block of quartz in Minecraft is quite low.
