Talk:Block of Quartz

Come to think of it, is this reversible?
I don't see a recipe for getting back the quartz items, and the recipes I do see look more like sandstone than like a mineral block. When mined, does the basic block drop 4 quartz, or itself? If it's not reversible, then this isn't a storage block. --Mental Mouse 03:37, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

It is not a storage block, the blocks only drop themselves.

Also, the Block of Quartz has a really low blast resistance, when a creeper exploded within a 5x5x3 block of it, all the blocks in a radius of 2 blocks were gone. Only the corners remained. So, probably a similar blast resistance to dirt. -kastor1994

I would concur with kastor1994 on quartz block's blast resistance. I tested blast resistance by setting off a TNT block inside a 5x5x5 chunk of different materials (gold ore, quartz, stone, dirt, grass) and the remains most resembled dirt or grass blocks - almost completely obliterated - so I would surmise that it's either 2.5 or 3. -- darkwyrm

Weird links
Why does the "see also" link to a page on "decorations" (I.e. flowers, saplings, mushrooms) in CLASSIC? This should be fixed or removed. --96.237.54.85 01:19, 17 January 2013 (UTC) Thanks, whoever fixed it. --96.237.54.85 15:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Pillar Quartz in Wrong Place
The pillar quartz recipie should be under "as a crafting ingredient", but I'm a noob with javascript so I can't do it. :P –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.106.150.23 (talk) at 13:42, 20 June 2014‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * This page is about all quartz variants. And JS has nothing to do with it. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 14:16, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Three-sided pillar
Where does the image of the three-sided pillar come from? As far as I can see, it's not in the game: /setblock doesn't offer it, the debug stick can't get it into that state and it's not on the block states page. Fabian42 (talk) 19:05, 28 April 2019 (UTC)


 * It exists only in bedrock edition, see data values section. FVbico (talk) 21:27, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Split proposal
I don't think the topics are diverse enough to warrant separate pages, and definitely not 5 separate pages. I might support splitting smooth quartz into its own page, as it's the most different. Otherwise, the split. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 22:59, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
