Quartz Block in villager trading
Quartz Block is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.
Quartz Block is a building block. The Mason offers polished and processed stone variants that would otherwise need a stonecutter and raw materials to produce. A crafting grid makes one from 4 × quartz. 2 of them make 2 quartz pillar.

Your odds of finding Quartz Block
Every villager listed below shows this trade: their tier draws its whole pool, so there is nothing to roll for. What is left to plan is throughput.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mason | Master | 100% (2 in 2)Bedrock -100% (-1 in 1) | none, it is always there | 24 quartz block a day2 restocks a day | no change |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.
Who trades Quartz Block, and at what price
To buy Quartz Block, visit a Mason at the Master tier (1 emerald).
Is trading Quartz Block worth it?
Quartz Block sells for as little as 1 emerald, from the Mason at the Master tier, and 8 of the other 9 cost less. The price is fixed rather than rolled, so a second Mason will quote you exactly the same.

What 1 emerald costs in goods
The Mason at its master tier asks 1 emerald for a quartz block. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 compasses | journeyman Cartographer | 12 | 12 quartz blocks |
| 48 iron ingots | apprentice Armorer | 12 | 12 quartz blocks |

a compass against 24 flint for the same 1 emerald, 24 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Fletcher at 37.5 real seconds of shelf, gathering not counted.
How Quartz Block trading works
Every quartz block offer here locks after 12 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 24 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest quartz block shows up is the Mason's Master tier, level 5 of five, which a villager reaches at 250 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 4 tiers short of offering quartz block at all.
How long Quartz Block takes in real time
12 quartz blocks empty one slot at the Mason, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.
So one mason moves 24 quartz blocks against 24 emeralds a Minecraft day, a quartz block every 50 real seconds, 1.2 emeralds a real minute. 64 quartz blocks take 6 fills across 3 Minecraft days, 6 minutes of it watching the mason walk back to its stonecutter.
Tips for trading Quartz Block
- Clearing the shelf: one Mason sells 12 quartz blocks before it has to restock, 12 emeralds for the full slot.
- Where the emeralds come from: the same Mason pays an emerald per 10 clay balls.
- Also on the Mason's list: brick, stone, chiseled stone bricks, granite, andesite, diorite.
