What is Quartz Pillar in Minecraft?
A quartz pillar is a decorative block with a clean, white color and a lined, pillar like texture. It is part of the quartz block family, made from materials from the Nether. The main purpose of a quartz pillar is to be a beautiful and elegant building material, specifically for creating pillars and other vertical details. It has a different texture on its top and bottom, which looks like a chiseled ring. Players use quartz pillars to add a sense of height, structure, and classical style to their builds. Its clean white color and lined texture are perfect for building classical temples, modern mansions, or anything that needs a touch of bright, sophisticated style.
How to get Quartz Pillar in Minecraft
You can only get a quartz pillar by crafting it. It does not generate naturally anywhere in the world. The crafting recipe is very simple. You will need two blocks of quartz. To get blocks of quartz, you first need to get Nether quartz items by mining Nether quartz ore in the Nether. Then, you can craft four Nether quartz items into a block of quartz. Once you have two blocks of quartz, open a crafting table. Place one block in a slot, and the other block directly above it in a single column. This will give you two quartz pillars.
