Quartz arrowhead

Fully existing technology.
Arrows can now be crafted using Nether Quartz instead of Flint.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz, so it also applies to this.

    Why not? New source of arrow materials, reason enough

    Just need reasons provided. What would it offer? Specific properties?

    ^ Keep in mind, quartz, like flint, like amethyst, like obsidian, can be split into sharp fragments and give them the desired shape, chipping off small pieces. Therefore, it would be logical to add alternative recipes for creating arrows.

    ^I'm not against the idea, just wondering how it could be something Mojang would consider. Alternatives don't always exist than everything having unique purposes, which the other materials already have. There needs to be practical use of the others as arrowheads, a feature that doesn't exist as a bow enchantment or tipped potion, then they'd be more used. Maybe like a damage output tier, or effect involving magic?

    ^For amethyst arrows, I can suggest a property to remove all effects, like milk (I was prompted by its mythical property to prevent intoxication). It will be convenient to counter opponents with positive effects (for example, pillagers supported by witches).
