A smooth quartz block is a mineral block used only for decoration. It is made by smelting blocks of quartz.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Smooth quartz blocks can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

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

Despite regular blocks of quartz having hardness and blast resistances of 0.8, smooth quartz has a blast resistance of 6 and hardness of 2. This is likely due to historical reasons, specifically as a result of hardness being inherited from slab blocks.[1]

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

2 smooth quartz blocks generate naturally as part of each bridge bastion remnant.

Issues

[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Smooth Quartz Block" or "Smooth Quartz" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Because of the low blast resistance of regular quartz blocks, it may be preferable to use two quartz slabs or smooth quartz blocks when making fortifications using quartz, as their blast resistance is higher than the other quartz block variants.
