A block of quartz is a mineral block used only for decoration. It can be turned into a chiseled quartz block, quartz pillar,[a] or smooth quartz.[b]

Master-level stone mason villagers have a 50% chance to either sell a block of quartz or a quartz pillar for one emerald as their trade.[Bedrock Edition only]
Master-level stone mason villagers sell both a quartz block for one emerald and a quartz pillar for one emerald.[Java Edition only]
Usage[edit]
Quartz blocks cannot be used to store nether quartz, due to the fact that they cannot be crafted back into it unlike other ore blocks.

History[edit]
This page would benefit from the addition of isometric renders. Please remove this notice once you've added suitable isometric renders to the article. The specific instructions are: From-the-bottom looking upwards renders of the block of quartz before and after 19w09a, and the 19w13b change

This section needs more information. Information requested: did six-sided quartz pillars exist prior to 1.8 similarly to six sided hay bales?

Issues[edit]
Issues relating to "Block of Quartz", "Quartz Block", "Chiseled Quartz Block", "Pillar Quartz Block", or "Pillar Quartz" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia[edit]
- Because of the low blast resistance of regular quartz blocks, it may be preferable to use two quartz slabs when making fortifications using quartz.
- Unlike other mineral blocks, it is impossible to craft quartz blocks into nether quartz, so it is not possible to use quartz blocks as storage for nether quartz.
