Talk:Nether Quartz Ore

incorrect/imprecise information after "Smelting Ingredient"
Previous: "Do note that smelting is pointless with Nether Quartz Ore: with any level of Fortune enchantment, one can obtain more quartz by breaking the ore instead. The experience gain is at least 10 times higher too." Fortune does not increase the XP gain from mining blocks.

Comparison to Ice
How are the thin strips on Ice similar to the thick strips of Nether Quartz ore? They are nothing alike. That piece of trivia is useless. 84.85.214.217 23:37, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I agree. Nether Quartz Ore looks no more like Ice than it looks like the other ores. This "trivia" should be removed. --96.237.54.85 03:14, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Should there be a bit of text reminding everyone of the fact that Nether Quartz Ore will not be available in Nether chunks which have already generated? MenacingBanjo 22:25, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Other nether ores?
Will there be more nether ores? I think they should add nether equivilants to the overworld ores which are slightly better than their overwolrd equivilants because they are more dangerous to acquire

Unavailble in superflat???
I went to my super flat world and used the portal and explored a LOT of Nether but I did not find any of the ore so I think it does not show up in superflat worlds like all other ores. 10.104.26.167 16:59, 21 March 2013 (UTC)PB57214


 * It will only be found in new chunks generated after updating to 1.5. In new worlds it's fairly common, so you may be exploring already-generated areas. -- Orthotope 18:24, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

No I did not visit the Nether before. Ever. This was the first time I did so in that world. 10.104.26.167 16:33, 22 March 2013 (UTC)PB57214

XP drop
Why on this ore (and other ones like coal ore) there is no information about xp drop when breaking ores?
