Nether Quartz

Nether quartz, or simply quartz, is an item mined exclusively in the Nether.

Mining
Nether quartz ore mined using a pickaxe will drop one unit of nether quartz. If the pickaxe is enchanted with fortune, it may drop an extra unit per level of fortune, up to a maximum of four with Fortune III. If the pickaxe is enchanted with silk touch, the ore will be dropped.

Trivia
- All of the sensor related items that are craft-able(comparator, daylight sensor, observer) are crafted with some nether quartz involved.
