Uncraft Quartz Blocks
by uiinpui
Uncraft Quartz Blocks is a datapack that lets players break quartz blocks back into quartz, so the mineral is easier to get before the Nether opens.
What it does
Quartz blocks can be uncrafted into their quartz items, which makes the material available to players early on, and the datapack can be loaded on a server for that purpose. Quartz is also obtainable from villagers through the same change, so a world needs less travel to the Nether to build with it. Uncraft Quartz Blocks requires a server, and the client is optional; the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a Data pack, for 1.21.4 – 26.3 under All rights reserved.
Key features
Quartz uncrafting
Quartz blocks break down into quartz items through a recipe added by the datapack.
Villager quartz
Quartz becomes obtainable from villagers, giving players another source before the Nether.
Easier building
With more quartz on hand, players can build with the material more often in early game.

What the author says
A simple datapack that allows you to uncraft quartz blocks, making quartz obtainable from villagers. I made this datapack in order to make quartz obtainable before the nether opens on servers. This also makes quartz easier to obtain in general, which allows you to build with it more.
