Nether Quartz Ore

Nether Quartz Ore is the only ore available in the Nether.

Obtaining
Nether quartz ore itself can only be obtained when mined by a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment. Mining the ore using any pickaxe without the use of a Fortune enchantment will drop one piece of Nether quartz - mining with a Fotune enchanted pickaxe will increase yields. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing. Nether quartz ore drops experience when mined.

Natural generation
Nether quartz is about as abundant as iron in the Overworld. However, it appears to be more abundant because there are more exposed caves in the Nether compared to caves in the overworld. It can also be found at any layer. There is an average of roughly 79 ores per chunk.

Trivia

 * Unlike Netherrack, fire does not burn indefinitely on Nether quartz ore.
 * Nether quartz ore has the same blast resistance as other ores, which is more than the Nether quartz block and Netherrack.
