A smooth quartz block is a mineral block used only for decoration. It is made by smelting blocks of quartz.
Smooth quartz blocks can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
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]
2 smooth quartz blocks generate naturally as part of each bridge bastion remnant.
