Nether quartz ore is an ore found in the Nether, and is a source of quartz.
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 2β5XP when broken.
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.
The primary usage of Nether quartz ore is to mine it for Nether quartz.
Note that mining the block directly with a tool enchanted with any Fortune level produces more Nether quartz.
