'''Basalt pillars''' are tall [[Minecraft:feature]]s made up of [[Minecraft:basalt]] blocks.

== Generation ==
{{Incomplete section|Technical generation details}}
[[File:Soul Sand Valley Vibrant Visuals.png|thumb|Basalt pillars as they generate in a soul sand valley]]
Basalt pillars are vertical basalt formations that generate in the [[Minecraft:soul sand valley]] biome. They are registered as a placed feature with a spawn rate of 10 per chunk, ensuring they appear frequently. Their height and distribution are randomized based on placement rules, contributing to the biome's rugged aesthetic.

== Construction ==
Basalt pillars have their starting points in the ceiling of an area, then have a pillar of between one and three blocks wide in both the X and Z axis going all the way down to the ground, where a flat clump of basalt can be found around a 3×3 area from the center of the pillar, as if a vertical [[Minecraft:lava]] flow, like those commonly found in the Nether, had solidified.
