Block of Quartz

"Oh, come on. You're not fooling anyone. We know you didn't build your palace out of Nether Quartz because you think it looks good – you're just humblebragging that you've been to the Nether, mined the place rotten for Nether Quartz ore, and then got back alive. Alive and smug. Now we have to live next to your magnificent palace made of quartz in our hut made of dirt. Grumble grumble..."

- Tom Stone

A block of quartz is a mineral block used only for decoration.

Obtaining
Blocks of quartz can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.

Usage
Quartz blocks cannot be used to store Nether Quartz, due to the fact that they cannot be crafted back into Nether Quartz.

Chiseled and pillar quartz blocks are orientable like logs.

Block data
In Bedrock Edition, block of quartz uses the following data values:

Block state

 * Quartz Pillar

Trivia

 * Because of the low blast resistance of regular quartz blocks, it may be preferable to use two quartz slabs when making fortifications using quartz.
 * Unlike other mineral blocks, it is impossible to craft quartz blocks into nether quartz, so it is not possible to use quartz blocks as storage for nether quartz.
