| Defined in | quartz.json |
Quartz is a white mineral used for decoration, glass and circuits. It is the vanilla nether quartz, renamed because in Matcha Flavoured it is mainly an Overworld material: it is mined from quartz deposits and can be made from sand in a blast furnace.
Obtaining
Mining
Quartz drops from quartz deposits (vanilla lapis lazuli ore) and sulfurous quartz deposits (vanilla redstone ore), which generate in the Overworld. See Ores. Sulfurous hellstone, the old nether quartz ore, drops sulfur chunks instead.

- Blasting sand in a blast furnace gives 1 quartz in 5 seconds.[1]
- Any quartz block (block of quartz, quartz bricks, quartz pillar, chiseled quartz block or smooth quartz block) crafts back into 4 quartz.[2]
The vanilla recipes that smelt and blast nether quartz ore are removed.[3] Picking up sand or any quartz block unlocks these recipes.
