Quotes

Quartz is an unusual block in that you can only use it for decoration. In fact, all the things you can make with quartz are just used for decoration: the chiseled quartz block, two types of quartz stairs, quartz pillars, and smooth quartz.

There are plenty of places to go looking if you’re short on diamonds! You can mine them in caverns, or set your sights on the numerous chests scattered around the world – shipwrecks, minecarts in abandoned mineshafts, strongholds, jungle temples, buried treasure chests, woodland mansions, and more. Even village chests can potentially hold these glittery gems.

You may not use cobblestone much once you have discovered the wide variety of other building materials Minecraft has to offer, but you should still keep some handy for the day you go back to basics. Why not break some out today? Because it is so abundant, it can help you fill in the gaps where your stockpile of other materials falls short. In the process of mixing and matching, you may just discover a combination of building materials that provides your own signature building style.
