| − | '''Nether quartz''' is a [[Nether]] exclusive [[item]] obtained by mining [[nether quartz ore]]. Nether quartz can be obtained in the ''[[Pocket Edition]]'' when it is spawned by a [[Nether Reactor]], although in the ''Pocket Edition'' its only use is to craft smooth quartz blocks. | + | '''Nether Quartz''' is a dark crystalline substance obtained by mining [[Nether Quartz Ore]], found in veins in [[The Nether]], producing one piece per ore. Nether Quartz is mainly used as a component of [[Glass]], but it is also used to regulating the precise timing in [[Clock]]s. |

| − | Note that the nether quartz ore block cannot be obtained without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment, and that this smelting is slightly inefficient because with [[Fortune]], you can get more than one quartz per ore. Also, there would be no reason to collect it with silk touch if you were just going to smelt it as it would be more efficient on long excursions to save space and to gather the experience earned from mining the quartz ore for later. In addition, you could place the ore and destroy it with a pickaxe to get the same yield.

| − | == Trivia ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Nether quartz appears to be quite common, but in reality, is about as common as [[iron ore]] in the Overworld, each spawning approximately 70 ores per [[chunk]], although it spawns in large veins similar to coal. What makes it seem more common is that it can spawn on almost any layer within the Nether, it does not spawn in the extreme upper or lower layers of the Nether. That combined with the fact that the Nether has more exposed blocks than an Overworld cave, and the fact that [[netherrack]] can be removed far more quickly than [[stone]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | * If the player entered the Nether before 1.5 was released, then after the update was released, nether quartz ore would only spawn in newly generated chunks. This makes it difficult to find nether quartz in old worlds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Although in real life striking a quartz crystal on a piece of steel is just as effective as flint on steel (for making sparks), there seems to be no plan to implement a quartz and steel striker.
