Nether Quartz
Nether Quartz — item.
Obtaining
Nether quartz is the compact mineral item obtained from Nether quartz ore, piglin bartering, and the two furnace routes. Mining the ore without Silk Touch gives quartz instead of the ore block, with Fortune applied to the normal drop. A piglin can offer five to twelve quartz for one gold ingot, while smelting or blasting one ore block gives one quartz and 0.2 experience.
| Nether quartz ore | Quartz; Fortune can affect the ore drop |
|---|---|
| Piglin barter | 5–12 quartz in the validated barter entry |
| Smelting | 1 Nether quartz ore → 1 quartz; 0.2 experience |
| Blasting | 1 Nether quartz ore → 1 quartz; 0.2 experience |
| Barter chance | About 4.26% for the 5–12 quartz offer |

Mining
When Nether quartz ore is mined without Silk Touch, the result is quartz rather than the ore block. Silk Touch keeps the ore for later placement, and Fortune changes the normal yield.
Usage
Crafting ingredient
Quartz is a compact redstone and building ingredient. Four pieces craft one quartz block, one is used by a comparator and one by an observer, and three are used by a daylight detector. The mineral is also an armor-trim material, giving the trim a pale accent. Quartz blocks can then be cut into pillars, bricks, stairs, slabs, or chiseled variants.
| Quartz block | 4 quartz → 1 quartz block |
|---|---|
| Comparator | 1 quartz in the redstone recipe |
| Observer | 1 quartz in the redstone recipe |
| Daylight detector | 3 quartz in the redstone recipe |
| Armor trim | Quartz trim material |
Data values
The item uses the `minecraft:quartz` identifier, stacks to 64, and is the normal output of Nether quartz ore. The local item data marks it as an armor-trim material; the smelting and blasting recipes both award the same item.

Trivia
The item registration marks Nether quartz as a trim material in addition to its ordinary crafting uses. The same item therefore connects Nether mining, redstone recipes, quartz building variants, and armor decoration.
The local recipe set keeps the two furnace routes separate: smelting and blasting each convert one Nether quartz ore into one quartz with 0.2 experience.
| Trim material | Quartz armor-trim material |
|---|---|
| Furnace routes | Smelting and blasting |
| Furnace output | 1 quartz and 0.2 experience |
