Nether Quartz

[namiasdf]

Is there anyway to not have to quarry my nether?

F--king AE.

 

[vertagen]

A TiCo fortune 3 pick gets me few stacks in a minute, no problem. Also its used in at most 4 AE recipes, know for sure of 2. The real thing you need to worry about is the CERTUS quartz.

 

[namiasdf]

So nether quartz is abundant.

Regular quartz is fine. I get a lot from me quarries.

 

[Celestialphoenix]

Just man up and quarry the nether- its all part the fun.

(depending on pack- theres a bee that makes quartz, or the MFR laser drill thingy)

 

[namiasdf]

Well, I don't mind quarrying the nether, it's just that I'm more so requiring of myself to make it mob proof. Ghasts shooting at 11 diamond machines is not my idea of engineering-safe.

Edit:

Also, bringing in a water source via UU-matter for lava reasons.

It's just a pain in the buttocks.

 

[Celestialphoenix]

Ghast fireballs aren't that bad- normal stone is enough.

 

[vertagen]

Also Liquid essense can be used, aswell as milk to be able to obsidianide lava in the nether.

 

[Celestialphoenix]

Or a pump.
Ender pump would be the best shot, they swap out the lava with stone

UUM'd in water no longer works in the nether, as a reminder, since Vanilla Minecraft broke that around the same time that they added silk touched ice blocks.(also is there still solid UUM? I heard it was a liquid now)
If you can find a different way to place water in the nether(and there are tons* of ways), then yeah, water will work just fine.
*Tons as in still a few ways, not actually a lot but there are still options

 

[KhrFreak]

since there was no mention of which pack this is if you have magical crops nether essence works wonders

Or an MFR laser drill with the right set-up will get you more nether quartz than you could use (Unless you were building a home for the Greek Gods)

Gany's nether mod in Horizons has quartz berry bushes. Once you find some, you plant them on tilled netherack(have to use a diamond hoe) and place a lava source like you would water for a normal farm. They grow in the overworld with no issues.

Why would you use a quarry when the ender quarry exists and it ignores lava

Why would you use a quarry when the ender quarry exists and it ignores lava

Because people are lazy and don't like setting up all those fences.

 

[Omegatron]

If you have Mekanism then the digital miner is a good choice, it can be set to just grab nether quartz and is only 2*2*3 blocks in size (I think) so it would be easy to protect.

 

[belgabor]

You use RotaryCraft and want a big hole to access bedrock easily =)

Not exactly a great excuse, honestly; unless one has whatever mod turns Fences into Fancy Fences(and assuming that mod also turns Nether Brick Fences into Fancy Nether Brick Fences), then it's only a few uses of a TiC Drawbridge to set it up.

Wish I knew that when I set up mine.

Laziness breeds Creative ways to be Lazy yet Effective.
