Block of Quartz

A block of quartz is a mineral block used only for decoration. It can be turned into a chiseled quartz block, quartz pillar, smooth quartz block, or quartz bricks.

Breaking
Blocks of quartz can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation
Quartz and smooth quartz can be found naturally as part of bastion remnants.

Trading
Master-level stone mason villagers have a 50% chance to either sell a block of quartz or a quartz pillar for one emerald as their trade.

Master-level mason villagers sell both a quartz block for one emerald and a quartz pillar for one emerald.

Usage
Quartz blocks cannot be used to store nether quartz, due to the fact that they cannot be crafted back into it unlike other ore blocks. This is completely intentional.

Crafting ingredient
Note: Smooth quartz cannot be combined with block of quartz, chiseled quartz block, or quartz pillar to craft the quartz slab or quartz stairs.
