Nether quartz ore is the only ore available in the Nether, and is the only source of quartz.
Obtaining
The nether quartz ore block itself (rather than its nether quartz drops) can be obtained by mining it with a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment.
| Block | Nether Quartz Ore | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 3 | |
| Tool | ||
| Breaking time[A] | ||
| Default | 15 | |
| Wooden | 2.25 | |
| Stone | 1.15 | |
| Iron | 0.75 | |
| Diamond | 0.6 | |
| Netherite | 0.5 | |
| Golden | 0.4 | |
- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Natural generation
Nether quartz is about as abundant as iron is in the Overworld, and is found between layers 7-117, but the huge open areas in the Nether expose all the ore, thus making it seem like it is more common. There is an average of roughly 79 ores per chunk. Nether quartz ore will only generate in areas where Netherrack would have been. This means that finding quartz that is naturally isolated is very rare, just like with all other ores.
Nether quartz generates in veins of 4-10 just like iron ore.
Usage
Nether quartz ore drops one nether quartz and 2 to 5 experience when mined with any pickaxe. Mining with a Fortune enchanted pickaxe will increase possible yields by 1 per level (up to 4 with level 3) (with an average of 2.2 quartz per ore with Fortune III, based on the mechanics of the fortune enchantment.)

'''Flint''' is a mineral obtained from [[gravel]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
When a block of [[gravel]] is mined, there is a 10% chance for a single piece of flint to drop instead of the [[gravel]] block. When mined with a [[Fortune]]-enchanted tool, this chance increases to 16% at Fortune I, 25% at Fortune II, and 100% at Fortune III. Gravel mined using a tool with [[Silk Touch]] or gravel that fell on a non-solid block never produces flint.
=== Trading ===
Novice-level [[Trading#Fletcher|fletcher]] [[villager]]s have a 50%{{only|bedrock}} or {{frac|2|3}}{{only|java}} chance to offer 10 pieces of flint for 10 blocks of gravel and an [[emerald]].

An '''item frame''' is an [[entity]]{{only|java|short=y}} or [[block entity]]{{only|bedrock|short=y}} that displays the item or block that is inside it.
A '''glow item frame''' keeps itself and the item inside it illuminated, even in the dark.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
{{IN|je}}, an empty item frame can be broken simply by punching it. If the item frame contains an item, punching it drops the item, leaving the frame on the wall.
Because item frames are [[entities]] {{in|java}}, they can be broken in [[Adventure]] mode. They will also be targeted by commands using the @e selector.{{only|java}}
=== Natural generation ===
An item frame containing a pair of [[elytra]] generates in each [[end ship]].
[[File:BoatElytra.png|thumb|An item frame naturally generating in an end ship.]]
=== Crafting ===

}}
=== Trading ===
Expert-level [[Trading#Cartographer|cartographer]] [[villager]]s have a chance to sell an item frame for 7 [[emerald]]s.
== Usage ==
=== Item display ===
[[File:Item Frame (map filled partial).png|thumb|150px|Item frame with partially filled map]]
Item frames can be placed on the sides of [[cactus]] blocks, [[pressure plate]]s, [[fence]]s, [[tree]]s, [[slab]]s, [[cobblestone wall]]s, [[chest]]s, [[door]]s, and all [[solid block]]s. They can also be placed on the top and bottom of these blocks. To place on chests and doors, the player needs to be [[sneaking]]. As item frames are an entity, multiple item frames can occupy the same block, although on different faces. It also allows non-solid blocks to occupy the same space.{{only|java}}
Players can place items in the frame by {{control|using}} the item. If a [[map]] is placed in an item frame, it enlarges to show the map in the size of a full block, with the item frame's location displayed as a green pointer on the map, pointing in the direction the item frame is facing. If this is done in the Nether, the green cursor spins around similar to the white cursor (players). If an item in an item frame has been renamed using an [[anvil]], it displays its custom name when the cursor is over the item frame. If the player places a block inside the frame, it is displayed in miniature half in, half out of the block. This can be most notably seen on stairs or slabs.
{{control|Pick block}} may be used on item frames by players in creative mode only, the control has no effect for players in Survival or Adventure mode. When the item frame is displaying an item, {{control|pick block}} picks the displayed item instead of the item frame.
Item frames can be placed on the lid of a [[shulker box]] that is positioned horizontally, but pop off when the lid is opened.{{only|java}}
=== Rotation ===
The displayed item can then be rotated by right-clicking the frame. Items displayed in the item frame can turn 45° diagonally, with a total of 8 possibilities (90° and 4 possibilities if it is a map), and the frame outputs a [[Mechanics/Redstone/Circuit#Power level|redstone signal]] depending on the rotation phase that can be interpreted by a [[redstone comparator]] (note that this rotation value is separate from the clock or compass rotation). As long as the frame remains placed, it remembers the orientation of the last item it held, and uses it for the next item it holds.{{only|java}}
=== Glow item frames ===
[[File:Item Frames Comparison.png|thumb|260px|Comparison between ordinary item frame and glow item frame in the dark.]]
When an item is placed inside a glow item frame, it appears to glow, even though it does not emit any [[light level]].
== Sounds ==
Item frames and glow item frames share the same sounds.

== Trivia==
*The item frame is based upon a suggestion on [[wikipedia:Reddit|Reddit]], like the [[ender chest]] and [[flower pot]].<ref>{{Tweet|dinnerbone|235747041286975488}}</ref>
*The item frame is the only entity to reference a block [[model]].{{only|java|short=1}} Because of this, the texture of the frame border is the same as the birch planks texture.
*Item frame is the '''only''' placeable item that can interfere with other non-full block entities.
*Due to the way layer textures are displayed in Minecraft, maps float on item frames, similar to how icons float on the map itself.

'''Charcoal''' is an [[item]] obtained by smelting [[log]]s or [[wood]]. It is used as fuel, or for crafting [[torch]]es and [[campfire]]s. Unlike [[coal]], charcoal cannot be traded with [[villager]]s or crafted into a [[block of coal]]. Coal and charcoal also cannot stack together. It can be used as a substitute for coal, as both charcoal and coal have an equivalent duration when smelted.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A [[campfire]] broken without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment drops 2 charcoal.
=== Smelting ===
{{Smelting
|Any Log; Any Stripped Log; Any Wood; Any Stripped Wood

=== Compound creation ===
Charcoal can be created from its base [[element]]s, using the [[compound creator]].{{only|bedrock|education}}

=== Fuel ===
When used in a [[furnace]] as a fuel, a piece of charcoal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), the same as coal. Charcoal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than [[wood planks]] or [[wood]] logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting in ''[[Java Edition]]'', but outstripped by [[wooden slabs]] in Bedrock.
Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by [[Minecart with Furnace|furnace minecarts]]. They provide approximately four minutes of transit each.

====[[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]]====
An axe can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers|tier]]'s repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the axe's maximum durability, rounded down.
===Mob loot===
==== Equipment ====
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}
A [[vindicator]] spawns with an iron axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. It is usually heavily damaged and is sometimes enchanted.
A [[piglin brute]] spawns with a golden axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. Also, {{in|java}}, [[Zombified Piglin|zombified piglins]] can drop their golden axe (with the same chance as piglin brute drop) if they have been zombified from a [[Piglin Brute|piglin brute.]]
====Raids====
{{IN|be}}, [[Vindicator]] and [[pillager]]s that spawn in raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron axe, which is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment. A vindicator can drop 2 iron axes, one from natural equipment and one from raid drops.
===Trading===
Novice-level [[Trading#Toolsmith|Toolsmith]] [[villager]]s have a 25% chance to sell a stone axe for one [[emerald]], journeyman-level Toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell an enchanted iron axe for eight emeralds, and expert-level Toolsmith villagers have a 50% chance to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 13 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}}
Novice-level [[Trading#Toolsmith 2|Toolsmith]] villagers have a 40% chance to sell a stone axe for one emerald, journeyman-level Toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron axe for 7-22 emeralds, and expert-level Toolsmith villagers have a 66.67% chance to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 18-35 emeralds.{{only|java}}
Novice-level [[Trading#Weaponsmith|Weaponsmith]] [[villager]]s sell an iron axe for 3 emeralds as one of their trades, and master-level Weaponsmith villagers sell an enchanted diamond axe for 12 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}}
Novice-level [[Trading#Weaponsmith 2|Weaponsmith]] villagers have a 66.67% chance to sell an iron axe for 3 emeralds. Master-level Weaponsmith villagers always offer to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 18-35 emeralds.{{only|java}}
The enchantments are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.
=== Villager gifts ===
[[Trading#Toolsmith 2|Toolsmith]] [[villagers]] occasionally throw stone axes at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.{{only|java}}
[[Trading#Weaponsmith 2|Weaponsmith]] [[villagers]] occasionally throw either stone, gold, or iron axes at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.{{only|java}}
===Structure loot===
{{IN|JE}}, a sealed room in [[woodland mansion]]s can appear that has a chest always containing an [[Efficiency]] I iron axe.
{{LootChestItem|wooden-axe,stone-axe,random-enchanted-golden-axe,damaged-random-enchanted-netherite-axe,iron-axe}}
==Usage==
===Chopping===
An axe is used to break [[logs]], blocks derived from wood and some other blocks faster than by using other tools. An axe uses 1 durability to break 1 block. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.
====Durability====
Each tier of axe has a different durability:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Material
! [[Durability]]
|-
| {{itemLink|Wooden Axe|Wood|link=Axe}}
| 59
|-
| {{itemLink|Stone Axe|Stone|link=Axe}}

====Speed====
The following table summarizes the speed at which axes of different qualities perform.

=== Stripping ===
{{control|Using}} an axe on a [[log]], [[wood]] block, [[block of bamboo]]\, or [[block of copper]] causes it to become a [[stripped log]], [[stripped wood]] block, [[block of stripped bamboo]], or removes one layer of oxidization or wax, respectively. This consumes one point of durability from the axe.
===Weapon===
An axe loses 2 points of durability when used as a weapon.
==== Bedrock Edition ====
{{IN|bedrock}}, axes always attack instantly and deal {{hp|1}} less damage than a [[sword]] of the same quality but it lowers the durability of armor and shields faster than any other tool in-game.

====Java Edition====
Attacking a [[shield]] user with an axe should have a chance to disable the use of the shield for 5 seconds, but currently this always disables a shield.<ref>{{bug|MC-197537}}</ref> The base chance is 25%, plus 5 percentage points per level of [[Efficiency]] on the axe, plus 75 percentage points if attacking while sprinting. [[Vindicator]]s, [[piglin brute]]s, or other [[mob]]s with commands always disable the player's shield. Damage done when using an axe as a weapon is more than that of a [[sword]] of the same tier, though they take longer than a sword to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]], resulting in lower <abbr title="Damage/Second">DPS</abbr> (with the exception of [[gold]]en axes). The damage dealt and cooldown time depends on the type:

===Smelting ingredient===
{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Axe;Golden Axe|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to golden axes and run toward any golden axes on the ground, and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory.

==== Unit repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
{{/Repairing with Anvils}}
A sword can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the sword's maximum durability, rounded down.
=== Mob loot ===
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}
Some [[mobs]] can spawn with a sword and have an 8.5% chance of dropping them upon death caused by player. This chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], up to a maximum of 11.5% with Looting III. [[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s can drop iron swords, [[zombified piglin]]s and [[piglin]]s can drop golden swords, and [[wither skeleton]]s can drop stone swords. The dropped sword is usually badly damaged and may be enchanted. Stone swords dropped by wither skeletons are never enchanted.
A [[vex]] wields an iron sword that normally has a 0% chance of dropping, because their main hand's <code>HandDropChances</code> is 0. However, this chance increases by 1 percentage point per level of Looting. It is never damaged{{only|java}} and may be enchanted.
{{IN|be}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% chance on hard mode) of dropping a damaged iron sword. This sword has a 50% chance of being enchanted.
=== Trading ===
[[File:Weaponsmith Diamond Sword Trade.png|thumb|right|The diamond sword trade of a weaponsmith.]]
{{IN|bedrock}}, an apprentice-level weaponsmith villagers sells enchanted iron swords for at least 7-21 emeralds, and a master-level weaponsmith sells enchanted diamond swords for at least 13-27 emeralds.
{{IN|java}}, a novice-level weaponsmith villager has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of selling an enchanted iron sword for at least 7-22 emeralds. A master-level weaponsmith offers to sell an enchanted diamond sword for at least 11–27 emeralds.
The enchantments of the swords offered by villagers are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|iron-sword,level-enchanted-iron-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-iron-sword,golden-sword,random-enchanted-golden-sword,diamond-sword,damaged-diamond-sword,level-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword-2}}
== Usage ==
=== Attacking ===
Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's [[Item Durability|durability]] decreases by 1.
Attacking a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]] with a sword stone tier or higher instantly destroys it {{only|java}}, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability.
==== Sweeping ====
{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}
If the attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above and the player is on the ground standing or moving slower than the [[sprinting]] speed in a straight line, the sword performs a sweeping attack indicated by a gale [[particle]] that reaches nearby enemies for {{hp|1}} and knocks them back; the amount of knockback is 80% that of the basal knockback and does not benefit from the [[knockback]] enchantment. As result, the player can perform a sweep attack while they are sprinting diagonally but it is impossible to perform a sweep attack at the same time as a critical hit or while riding some [[entity]]. All enemies within an 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected. The [[sweeping edge]] enchantment increases the damage dealt by 50% of the normal hit damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III.
=== Damage ===
{{Main|Damage}}
==== Java Edition ====
Swords have an attack speed of 1.6 and take 0.625 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

=== Sword breaking times ===
{{main|Breaking}}
A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks 50% quicker, sometimes much quicker than with fists. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, despite that the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>{{bug|MC-195168||Swords consume double durability than they normally would when destroying bamboo saplings, bamboo, or cobwebs}}</ref>
If a sword is enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], either using [[Creative]] or [[commands]], cobwebs the sword destroys will drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual string. This is due to the sword being classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.
The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which swords have any effect. Colors indicate what gets dropped:
* White: an original block.
* Blue: block's normal drop (e.g. seeds, sapling, apple).
* Red: nothing.

==== Safety around constructions ====
In Creative mode, swords are unable to break blocks. However, care must still be taken around [[minecart]]s, [[painting]]s, [[item frame]]s,{{only|java}} and [[armor stand]]s; these are entities, thus can be broken with swords in Creative.<ref>{{bug|MC-27140}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-18463}}</ref>
=== Enchantments ===
Swords can receive, gathered from mob drops/villager trades or be found in various loot chests (example: End City, Bastion Remnant)with the following [[enchantment]]s:

{{main|Blocking}}
[[File:Parrying.png|thumb|right|The blocking animation using a sword before and after [[Java Edition 14w30a]] (from the [[Adventure Update|Adventure]] to the [[Bountiful Update|Bountiful]] updates).]]
Previously, since the [[Adventure Update]], all types of swords could be used to parry to block some forms of damage. If the player is blocking with a sword when attacked, the sword deflects 50% of incoming damage from melee, non-magical projectiles like arrows, and explosions, along with minimizing airborne knockback. The sword is held in front of the player and its durability is not reduced by blocking. The player moves at a slower rate than [[sneaking]] if blocking with a sword. Sword blocks could be engaged and disengaged instantly, with no delay between the input and damage mitigation nor cooldown between lowering a block and raising a new one.
After the [[Combat Update]], the sword blocking functionality was replaced by blocking with [[shield]]s and to accommodate the [[dual wield]] system. Shields negate more damage and knockback than sword blocking from "blockable" attacks (they block 100% damage and knockback after [[Java Edition 1.11]]), but, unlike swords, they lose durability, have a 0.25 second startup period before damage can be mitigated and can be temporarily disabled by attacks with an [[axe]].
=== Knockback ===
The knockback dealt by swords used to be higher than while the players are using another melee [[item]]s, like an axe or with the hands. This feature was removed in [[Java Edition 1.9]] and is also no longer used in ''[[Bedrock Edition]]''.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
*The sword's traditional [[texture]] came from [[Notch]]'s abandoned RPG, ''[[Legend of the Chambered]]''. The iron sword's texture was created first, as it was from the game, and the other swords followed.
*In ''Java Edition'', with the introduction of netherite swords, it is possible to one-hit kill undead [[mob]]s in the game (except [[wither]]s and [[zombie]]s/[[skeleton]]s with random armor) using a sword with the [[Smite]] V enchantment, without the need to perform a critical hit (this was previously possible only with a [[Smite]] V stone, iron, or diamond axe).
*Plastic diamond and enchanted swords are official ''[[Minecraft]]'' merchandise.<ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-sword?_pos=1&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref><ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-enchanted-purple-sword?_pos=4&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref>
*In the game [[wikipedia:Transformice|''Transformice'']], a diamond sword can be found in the shop.

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 quartz block and netherrack combined.
- The texture of nether quartz is the same as netherrack's, but with white streaks added. A similar design is used in the coal block, but with black streaks on a stone block.
- Nether quartz ore was originally planned at Minecon 2013 as an ore that will generate in the Nether to promote Nether exploration. This ore was planned to be either a type of redstone, or be an ore that will drop an item used in Redstone circuitry see nether quartz.
- The vast quantities of easily-available nether quartz ore in the Nether, combined with the relatively large quantity of experience gained from digging it, makes nether quartz mining one of the fastest ways to level up in Minecraft.
- Nether Quartz Ore is generated as part of the dimension, while Netherrack is generated as part of the biome.
- This can be seen, as when a Buffet world with the nether biome is generated, there will be netherrack but no quartz ore.
