A '''block of quartz''' is a mineral [[block]] used only for decoration. It can be turned into a '''chiseled quartz block''', '''quartz pillar''',{{fn|Known as '''Quartz Pillar''' {{in|java}} and '''Pillar Quartz Block''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} or '''quartz bricks'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Obtaining ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Breaking ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blocks of quartz can be [[breaking|mined]] using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it [[drops]] nothing.&lt;br /&gt;

|Wood&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Natural generation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 quartz blocks generate naturally as part of each bridge [[bastion remnant]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crafting ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Trading ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Master-level stone mason [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to either [[trading|sell]] a  block of quartz or a quartz pillar for one [[emerald]] as their trade.{{only|bedrock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Master-level mason villagers sell both a quartz block for one emerald and a quartz pillar for one emerald.{{only|java}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quartz blocks cannot be used to store [[Nether quartz]] because they cannot be [[crafting|crafted]] back into it, unlike other [[ore]] blocks. This is completely intentional.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{bug|MC-6797}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
*Quartz Block is the only mineral block that can’t be reversed to it’s parts&lt;br /&gt;
