Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block Basalt is a Minecraft:block found in Minecraft:the Nether.

Obtaining

Breaking

Basalt drops as an item if mined by any Minecraft:pickaxe. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing.

Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Natural generation

Basalt generates naturally as basalt pillars, which are found in the soul sand valley biome. They also generate in the basalt deltas biome as regular terrain and as part of basalt columns. in Template:Editions, they also generate in blobs, which attempt to replace Minecraft:netherrack 75 times per chunk in blobs of radius 3–7 from levels 0 to 127 in basalt deltas biomes.

Basalt can also be found naturally as part of bastion remnants.

Basalt also generates when Minecraft:lava flows into a space that is on top of soul soil and adjacent to blue ice. The flowing Minecraft:lava is then replaced with basalt.

Usage

Basalt's only current use is as building material. Like Minecraft:logs and quartz pillars, basalt blocks point perpendicular to whatever block face they are placed on.
