Build With It: Quartz

But what’s wrong with that? Decoration is great! Why not craft an outdoor pool to hang out in? Or fill your garden with elegant statues? You could even construct a pretty fountain and benches for your visitors, so they have somewhere to sit comfortably (wait… is sitting on quartz comfortable?) and admire your quartz builds. The most glamorous building block in Minecraft? Quite possibly...

But what about some everyday uses? Bring your quartz back inside by taking a bit of real-world inspiration. Lots of real-life kitchen counters and bathrooms incorporate quartz in their designs. Get fancy! Or you could find yourself aiming even higher. Why not take those pretty quartz pillars and craft a temple? Next thing you know, you’ll be making houses like this!

Of course, what new Community Page column would be complete without you? We’re looking forward to showing off your new creations with not just quartz but also some of our upcoming December building materials like spruce wood, acacia, cobblestone, and terracotta! Have you built anything impressive that uses these? Large or small, we want to see them all! 

Just email us at FeatureMe@minecraft.net with screenshots of your build, what it is, and how you built it. They have to be your creations (but if you have a friend whose build you think would be perfect, encourage them to email it to us). Next week we're talking about terracotta so send us your terracotta builds for a chance to be featured in the article. Built something lovely that doesn't use terracotta? Send that instead! We’re looking for all skill levels, so don’t be shy about showing off what you’ve crafted. You may just see your build on minecraft.net in an upcoming article.
