What is quartz in Minecraft preparing for us?

Minecraft quartz is a resource that appeared in version 1.5 exclusively as a building material. It is mined in mines using a stone (or stronger) pickaxe and is in many ways similar to sandstone, but much stronger. However, progress and time have also “discovered” true quartz in the Minecraft world. This resource is significantly different from what can now be considered not true.

Quartz in the game

Traditionally, quartz is an aesthetic-looking and durable building material. So strong that quartz building blocks, unlike those made of other materials, are not recycled to quartz.

It is mined in the mines in the form of blocks of quartz ore in the Lower World, and then processed into blocks from which plates, steps and so on are made.

Quartz in Minecraft has three varieties: the actual quartz blocks, carved blocks and pylons.

The Ore of the Underworld is the only ore in this Inferno. From it you can create both building materials and several advanced items.

However, time passed and it turned out that it was not necessary to climb into the Lower World, since it was "open" ... What would you think?

True Quartz Ore

In Minecraft, a true quartz crystal added the Applied Energistics 2 mod.

It is extracted, as you might guess, from the ore of true quartz.

It is mined at heights 17-69. Deposits contain from 1 to 5 blocks. For mining, you need at least a stone pickaxe.

A crystal of true quartz, unlike quartz itself, is not a building material at all. Although, of course, you can build from it. But it’s much more useful to let him make basic items. Good tools and weapons are also obtained from it.

Getting crystal

To obtain a true crystal, place a block of true quartz in the center of the workbench. And from it, in fact, a crystal will be made.

Crystal in business

What can be made of a true quartz crystal? These are the following items:

• Wrench (true quartz). Impact on equipment (on / off). Used in creating a network tool. Indestructible.

• Pickaxe (true quartz). Mining of mountain resources. It can be used as an ineffective weapon. Almost equal to iron, but indestructible.

• Ax (true quartz). Wood mining. It can be used as an ineffective weapon. Almost equal to iron, but indestructible.

• Shovel (true quartz). Extraction of light blocks like earth, sand, snow and the like. Almost equal to iron, but indestructible.

• Hoe (true quartz). Creating beds. Almost equal to iron, but indestructible.

• Sword (true quartz). Melee weapons. Almost equal to iron, but indestructible.

• Cutter (true quartz). Needed to create a naming press and cable anchor.

All items from true quartz have a light blue tint.

Charging

In addition, a true quartz crystal holds a charge well, which is then used to create a volatile crystal, but this is another topic.

To do this, a quartz crystal must be shoved into the charger.

From the dust to the stars

On this, the options for using a true quartz crystal are not exhausted. But for subsequent perturbations it must be crushed into the dust of a true crystal.

For "spraying" we put the crystal in a quartz crusher, or in a crusher (IndustrialCraft 2), or in a grinder (Thermal Expansion).

Dust can be turned into the seed of a pure crystal of true quartz.

If the seed is thrown into water, a pure crystal of true quartz is formed, which is used in the creation of high-tech complex devices.

Quartz dust is also needed to create quartz glass.

Glass with the inclusion of true quartz is a necessary component in high-tech objects. Such as:

• energy cell;
• energy receiver;
• crystal growth accelerator;
• molecular picker;
• spatial pylon;
• quantum communication camera;
• backlit panel;
• electronic memory component (4 k);
• electronic memory component (16 k);
• electronic memory component (64 k);
• empty case of electronic device.

In general, true quartz in Minecraft is not just quartz for you.
