Although in real life striking a quartz crystal on a piece of steel is just as effective as flint on steel (for making sparks), there seems to be no plan to implement a quartz and steel striker, possibly because gravel (thus, flint) is more common than nether quartz, so it is cheaper to use flint anyway. -Minecraft Wiki Screw that. This mod adds a new item, quartz and steel, and a new block, overworld quartz ore. Overworld quartz ore is just quartz ore in the overworld. To make it not overpowered, and to encourage nether travel, the overworld quartz is much rarer, as rare as gold. Quartz and steel is basically an upgraded flint and steel, with 4x more durability than normal flint and steel.

Check it out at http://bdcraft.net/c...7010.html#p7010 Note: In addition to texturing the stuff from the mod, it retextures vanilla quartz. In the PureBDCraft resource pack, quartz has a chunk of netherrack on it, to make it look like it came from the nether. Llama Farmer replaced that with a more dimensionally ambiguous white quartz crystal. Edit: Fixed a few things. I suck at HTML. Edit again: I forgot to say, anyone who wants Quartz 'N' Steel in their modpack, you're welcome to put it in, just tell me. I know legally you aren't required to tell me, because of EULA and stuff, but it would be kind of weird if you didn't. If you want to make a texture pack patch for it, you're welcome to do that as well.
