FAQ

Can Quartz Pillar be placed on any axis?

Yes. Placing it against different faces orients the pillar vertically, or horizontally along either axis.

What tool do I need to mine it?

Any pickaxe, starting with wood — mining without one drops nothing.

Is Quartz Pillar renewable?

Yes, since Java Edition 19w11a Mason villagers sell it, making an otherwise finite resource fully renewable.

What was Quartz Pillar called before?

It was named "Pillar Quartz Block" prior to the Java Edition 1.13 flattening, which renamed and re-IDed many blocks.
