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.
== Obtaining ==
=== 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.
=== Crafting ===
=== Stonecutting ===
=== 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.
Quartz pillars can be rotated sideways.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
=== Stonecutting ===
=== Smelting ingredient ===
=== 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.
* In real life, a 1-cubic-meter block of quartz (the size of a Minecraft block) is practically harder than the real life block of iron, while the mining speed of block of quartz in Minecraft is quite low.
