Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Mining

[edit | edit source]

Nether quartz ore mined using a pickaxe drops one unit of Nether quartz. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it may drop an extra unit per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of four and an average of 2.2 with Fortune III. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Silk Touch, the ore drops itself.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]

All of the sensor related items that are craftable (comparator, daylight sensor, observer) are crafted with some Nether quartz involved.
In the Minecraft Annual 2025, Efe is shown bartering with a piglin, and the piglin giving them Nether quartz back, but with the original texture.
