Quartz is a very common mineral that can be found in large deposits at nearly all heights. It sometimes hosts {{ll|gold|gold}} and/or {{ll|silver|silver}}, and is used in the creation of both {{ll|Glass|Glass}} blocks and {{ll|Lantern|Lanterns}}. While Mining quartz ore blocks, players will receive Quartz Chunks, as well as a few bits of Clear Quartz. The latter can be used to craft {{ll|Quartz Glass|Quartz Glass}} and Lanterns without the need to smelt the bits in a {{ll|bloomery|bloomery}}, unlike the Quartz Chunks which can only be processed into clear glass through smelting. | Quartz is a very common mineral that can be found in large deposits at nearly all heights.
