Block of Quartz

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

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

Natural generation
Four quartz blocks generate naturally as part of each bridge bastion remnant.

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

Usage
Quartz blocks cannot be used to store nether quartz because they cannot be crafted back into it, unlike other ore blocks. This is intentional.

Quartz pillars can be rotated sideways.

Note Blocks
All types of quartz blocks can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Trivia

 * Because of the low blast resistance of regular quartz blocks, it may be preferable to use two quartz slabs or smooth quartz blocks when making fortifications using quartz, as their blast resistance is higher than the other quartz block variants.
