What blocks in Minecraft look as close as possible to quartz? Or are there any methods like shaders that make other blocks look like quartz?

If you're looking for blocks which are similar in appearance, try white wool, snow blocks, clay blocks, or iron blocks. As for biomes, I think the only thing that they affect (colour wise) are leaf blocks, grass blocks and trees.

If you're on PC you could install a custom texture pack. Or you could even copy the texture for quartz and paste it onto another block. For example, if you pasted it over the texture for sand, then lakes and oceans in your game would look like they were surrounded by quartz blocks. But remember, the block you pasted the texture over would still retain its original properties, so if you picked sand, it would be affected by gravity, it would be breakable by hand and it would make crunching sounds when stepped on. Smooth stone would offer the right properties and footstep sounds, but on the flip side you'd see quartz in place of smooth stone when you dug down/started mining.
