Nether quartz ore is an ore found in the Nether, and is a source of quartz.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Nether quartz ore can be mined with any pickaxe. If mined by hand, it drops nothing. If mined with Silk Touch, the block drops itself. Otherwise, it drops 1 Nether quartz (up to 4 quartz when mined with Fortune III). It also drops 2–5XP when broken.

  1. ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking Β§ Speed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Nether quartz ore can generate in the Nether in the form of ore blobs. Nether quartz ore attempts to replace netherrack 16 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-24, from levels 10 to 117, in all Nether biomes. In Java Edition, in basalt deltas, Nether quartz ore attempts to generate 32 times per chunk as there are fewer valid generation areas.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

The primary usage of Nether quartz ore is to mine it for Nether quartz.

Issues

[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Nether Quartz Ore" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Breaking one Nether quartz ore provides 3.5 experience points on average, so breaking about 100 of them raises the player from level 0 to 16, and about 400 from level 0 to 30.
  • Nether quartz ore is generated as part of the dimension, while netherrack is generated as part of the biome.β€Œ[Java Edition only]
    • This can be seen, as when a Single biome world with the Nether biome is generated, there is netherrack but no quartz ore.
    • In Bedrock Edition, if the Nether is generated in the Overworld as a biome, neither netherrack nor Nether quartz ore is generated, but the terrain is completely made out of stone with bedrock ceiling.
