The '''basalt deltas''' are a volcanic [[Minecraft:biome]] found in [[Minecraft:the Nether]].

== Description ==
The basalt deltas is the second rarest Nether biome, making up around 16% of the Nether by volume, and can generate next to any other Nether biome except for the [[Minecraft:crimson forest]].

The rough and jagged terrain of basalt deltas is composed largely of [[Minecraft:basalt]] and [[Minecraft:blackstone]] and features numerous [[Minecraft:delta]]s, shallow pools of [[Minecraft:lava]], and [[Minecraft:Magma Block|magma blocks]], typically reaching depths of 1 to 3 blocks. The biome's fog is a dull lilac color, and ambient ash particles float through the air. Archipelagos with islands of different sizes can be found around the [[Minecraft:lava sea]]s nearby. On the ceiling, [[Minecraft:glowstone blob]]s generate as usual. Both [[Minecraft:Brown mushrooms|brown]] and [[Minecraft:Red mushroom|red mushrooms]] still grow in this biome on top of the basalt blocks.

[[Minecraft:Nether fortress]]es and [[Minecraft:Ruined Portal|ruined portals]] can be found here. [[Minecraft:Nether quartz ore]], [[Minecraft:Nether gold ore]], and the rare [[Minecraft:ancient debris]] generate underground, but are more difficult to obtain due to the abundance of deltas and lava seas. Ore also spawns more frequently to compensate for the significantly reduced amount of [[Minecraft:netherrack]] in the biome. [[Minecraft:Bastion remnant]]s are not present, making basalt deltas the only Nether biome to not feature them.

[[Minecraft:Magma cube]]s have a higher spawn rate in this biome than in any other biome. Occasionally, a [[Minecraft:ghast]] can be spotted. Like in all Nether biomes, [[Minecraft:strider]]s wander the lava lakes, and sometimes spawn trapped in the countless deltas.

== Mobs ==
The following mobs naturally spawn here:

== Trivia ==
* Basalt deltas have no unique [[Minecraft:mood]]-based [[Minecraft:Ambience|ambient sounds]] in dark areas and instead borrow those of the [[Minecraft:Nether wastes]].
* According to [[Minecraft:Felix Jones]], the basalt deltas biome has a subtle [[Minecraft:Easter egg]] that has not yet been found by anyone.<ref>{{Tweet|Xilefian|1498405160888020997|In 1.16 I put a really, really, REALLY subtle & obscure easter-egg/reference into the basalt deltas biome that is hiding there in very plain sight. If someone ever noticed it; the pay-off would be so underwhelming that they'd be angry they ever looked for it.|February 28, 2022}}</ref>
*Much of the ambience in the basalt deltas resembles the clicking of a [[Minecraft:W:Geiger counter|Geiger counter]], used to measure radioactivity.
** During the ambience creation process, [[Minecraft:Brandon Pearce]] provided the keyword "radiation" to audio director [[Minecraft:Samuel Åberg]],<ref>{{ytl|BPJOs8nFMv0h|Dev Diaries #2: Nether Sound|Minecraft|t=98}}</ref> which may explain its purpose.
