I'm not to sure where to post this. I noticed some odd textures involving the Quartz Block, the Quartz Stairs, the Quartz Slab, and the Smooth Quartz Block(most of this thread is about this block). The normal Quartz Block, the Quartz Slab, and the Quartz Stairs all have a texture under them that's different from the other sides of the block. I don't know if it's an intended texture, or if it's a glitch. The Smooth Quartz Block has the exact same texture as the normal Quartz Block, which to me makes it seem a little bit pointless to have in the game to be honest. I know it's meant to look like the top of the Quartz Slab, however I think it should either look like the bottom of the Quartz Slab, or just be removed completely. It's like adding Smooth Bricks, or Smooth Cobblestone based on the top textures of their slabs. I'm not against the idea of a Smooth Quartz Block, in-fact I really like the idea, I just don't feel like it's being done the right way. Let me know what you guys think about the Quartz Block texture and the Smooth Quartz Block!
I'm pretty sure the quartz blocks have always been like that, so I'd assume it's intentional.
Smooth quartz is a bit weird, but there's a reason for it being that way -- prior to 1.13, the "smooth" blocks were just variants of the full slab blocks that were only obtainable using commands, and, instead of just looking like the combination of a top and bottom half slab, they used the texture of the slab's top face on every one of their faces.
A block using the quartz bottom texture on all its faces would make more sense and probably be more useful, though. :-P
EDIT: Just realized you did mention that it's based on the top texture, but I do still think that it's relevant that the "smooth" blocks aren't new and weren't originally made to be obtainable normally.
